If you’re a Star Wars fan like me, then you’ve probably had that new riff from John Williams’ score stuck in your head over the past few weeks. You know the one — the Imperial March-esque theme that was prominently featured in the trailer, Nissan commercials, and even re-arranged as a beatbox jam in Google’s AR stickers commercial.
Yeah, it’s catchy. I wanted to know the name of it and where it appears in the official soundtrack. Well, after some unsuccessful googling, I finally listened to the entire soundtrack (which is amazing). And since I’ve done the work for you, I’m happy to share that the riff is found in The Spark. While the whole track is worth a listen, you can hear the original version of the familiar riff at 2:15. YouTube and Spotify embeds below. You’re welcome…
