[darkfefe2]

@vpompei1

[galileokitakaze]

you don't know the really power of the dark side....!!!

[georgebenavides]

Its A TRAPPP!!!

[SophiaVonHelgastein]

this is the best performance of this on youtube!

[GGbreizh]

@SophiaVonHelgastein Of course. There is greater recording on YouTube. The original recording conducted by Williams with London Symphony Orchestra, a later recording with the Skywalker Symphony Orchestra conducted by John Williams. A version played by the Wiener philharmoniker. When this piece was premiered (1980) with the Boston Pops. John Williams conducting the Pops in Japan in the 80s or in the 90s.

[packetcreeper]

this is the theme of seal team 6 storming bin ladin's compound.

[guramika1]

you know what would be funny? if the conducter dressed up like darth vader

[sybnios]

@guramika1 Funny?? I find your lack of faith disturbing!

[sapivir]

i want to hear this when I enter somwhere

[OMrkithO]

@1993blazingstar i was going to type that before i read your comment :D

[victorsasami]

this is my mom's ring tone. :D

[tzukius]

@victorsasami ye, i know, i do her while playing it

[TheSGABANG]

lo voglio come inno!!!!!1

[bengt1777]

Sorry the wrong side won

[luigibattista10]

@Halloo48 Italians too. :)

[DreadLordBalnazaar]

THE EMPEROR HAS BEEN ABANDONED FOR MUSIC!!!!

[timreinartz]

good orchester

[MrDabomba13]

11 just got choke held by vader...

[spnarticus]

couldn't help but to laugh when the guys in storm trooper outfits started to walk to front of the foot of the stage.

[nfarr11]

@knightj60 I think the hunched over figure in the hood that is standing between Vader and the Red Guards is the Emperor.

[abola2121]

I get Italy, but why's this so popular in Germany?

[NordJager]

@abola2121

because the Ride of the Valkyre is popular too. They like this kind of music.

[carnifexmactator]

Every time a lights-out closer enters a baseball game, every time your starting defense in introduced at a football game, every time your big-ass center gets introduced at a basketball game, every time your enforcer is introduced at a hockey game, THIS SONG MUST BE PLAYED!!!

[jibarito26]

This should be played everytime the US enters another country to invade!

[lMagusl]

It would be pimpin if they walked in on dracula playing this on his pipe organ.

[knightj60]

the band is more protected than the emperor...i mean...look, 1 sand trooper, 1 storm trooper, 1 pilot, 1 scout, boba fett? 2 red guards. and vader himself is watching left flank. LOLZ

[Zinobreaker]

@knightj60

you realize that the emperor is right next to darth vader right?

[godyrwita]

Troppo veloce porca miseria!!!!! Talvolta i direttori si sentono in diritto di interperetare cose che non di devono interpretare!

[MrCzech78]

What a waste of space

[arpan88]

love it!! always have and always will! John Williams is a pure genious and he succeeded extra good with the music for Star Wars!..

[Ereshkigal616]

3:07 through 9:14 was edidted die to the fact soon after Vadar simultaneously force choked everyon there as noon seemed to know what plans he was tlaking about nor knew of any such rebel base..........

[Khaziga]

Song ends and then darkness.

[Pokemonstarz]

good stuff. more low brass would make it so bad ass

[RRydnew]

good but not quite dark enough. Play it like the LSO and tone down the brass and woodwinds. Good effort!

[flow11500]

perfect :) cool

[Speed1Killer1]

It wasnt made from starwars pruductions

[BuddhaMaster84]

there is even a headhunter on the far right and wow, these two troopers are completly stuck for the most part

[superheadfreak]

I should program my alarm clock to play this. I love the sound of evil in the morning!

[intruder866]

@superheadfreak

chissà che gioia incrociarti per strada di mattina.. XD

[StarWarsFan786]

Awesome, one of the best performances of this theme i've ever heard. The quiet part even sounds like the original version!

[RRydnew]

@StarWarsFan786 

[cassandra5322]

one of the greatest film scores. 

[chanchanhomevideos]

ooh! a storm trooper at the bottom-right side of the screen! ^_^

[chanchanhomevideos]

this still gives me chills.. brr

[zuklonbe]

NWO March would be precise

[overkillll]

@zuklonbe Jon Stewart played this over Dick Cheney footage and it matched perfectly!

[DeclanH858]

Just imagine if the conductor was Darth Vader, using his lightsaber as a baton!

[walecs2]

Fantastica

[66633312]

that man in the video is john williams???

[sq1fyy]

this orchestra must flying on death star and playing this for Imperator!

[therealnapster10]

wtf

i like the light saber

[teethehee]

john williams is bethoven in our time.

[Operalover12002]

Who composed this music?

[stevek480]

John Williams

[therealnapster10]

John Williams

[ra123po123]

@Operalover12002

john williams

[MarcelKaufmann]

This Song is Nice=)

[crt0191]

amazing the song sounds like it was written by mozart :p

[criceto]

well, Mozart no but it is still very amusing

[falseandreal]

amazing the song sounds like it was written by Dvorak

[hardcoreGBR92]

VERAMENTE MAESTOSO!!

[barba1701]

fantastico complimenti

[NostalgicDays88]

LOL at the star war characters.

[whitireia]

The orchestra done this very well here.

I think the tempo was better than other versions Ive heard up here on YouTube.

[Anthaleus]

If America would stick to its guns and keep blasting away its enemies with bombs and not fucking wanker cakes and martha stewart peace talks, then give them the bloody theme :)

[kallistiX1]

Wow, um I knew Americans had sunk kinda low in the worlds opinion but to compare us to the (evil) Empire is a bit much. I mean part of Lucas' inspiration was Nazi Germany...

[Tzumaki]

Mmm, actually, it was Russia. Nice try.

[Herdatec]

@kallistiX1 aint there a little Yew and a little Nazi in all of us?

[RespectTheANZACS]

This should be the national anthem of a country.

[dycarbon1]

Then it would be a terriorist country if not else

[nosorab3]

I always saw this as a national theme of a massive galaxy spanning empire founded on brutal authority and order...HINT.

[Gaara296]

lol

[lukestaniec]

i agree!!!!!

[DerTommy86]

lol, it would be the most evil country on earth :D

[feruwehr]

lol which one?? xD

[Zadyus]

@RespectTheANZACS When the US is overrun by the Chinese or Russians, it will be :DD

[fcycles]

@RespectTheANZACS I can imagine how people will react to that country when they will win a gold medal during Olympic! It will look more like Star Wars fan club than Country lover.. hehe!

[lurconis666]

@RespectTheANZACS That it is, it is the unofficial anthem of Vatican City.

[Paolonicus]

@RespectTheANZACS

Yeah! Probably North Korea.

"All hail the Emperor Kim Jong-il! Dark Lord of the Sith!!!

[loxnnn]

@RespectTheANZACS this should be the national anthem of the USA

[MonsieurJackAss]

@RespectTheANZACS Who wants to see King Jong Il dance to this?

[unbornanddeathless]

@RespectTheANZACS North-Korea?

[Ereshkigal616]

@RespectTheANZACS ....america the way we're going...... lol i would support it though.....\o/

[shooter930414]

@RespectTheANZACS

Some evil country  : P

[BasilaPPP]

@RespectTheANZACS Russia, maybe? But it has already better :(

[Navis19]

@RespectTheANZACS

I think it is the national anthem of the Dark Side ! :D

and the best representative is Darth Vader don't you think... :D

[afiqfalif]

@RespectTheANZACS perhaps the national anthem for the Empire in planet Death star

[TheViewerMarcus]

@RespectTheANZACS ENGLANDS NEW ANTHEM!! XD

[jazzx251]

@TheViewerMarcus "God Save the Queen" is the most insipid, boring, meaningless example of all anthems on Earth (and I have studied them all). Its only redeeming feature is that it is mercifully short. But ... "U .. K .. rules, so you bet-ter watch out! Obey your masters or you'll get a clout! We. Know. Best - we'll civilise you all You'll thank us later or fall, Behave or else!" That has a ring to it.

[bgharaibeh]

lol

[bgharaibeh]

lol!

[hallohallo94]

@RespectTheANZACS China? :) It would be fit :)

[pimlico24]

@RespectTheANZACS U.S .A . anthem!

[Calthrasful]

@pimlico24

no usa isn't cool enough for this anthem^^

[gomongio]

@RespectTheANZACS of a country named Latveria (only for comics fans lol)

[xXJawruWolfXx]

@RespectTheANZACS ..... Sweden. -looks off in the distance in a dramatic fashion- Lol :P

[noob1981123]

@RespectTheANZACS

I think it is. Either Lybia, Iraq or Afghanistan. (and to the peace loving people of those countries: Its just a joke. OK!)

[SuzakuNemesis]

@RespectTheANZACS it is, it's called THE EMPIRE =|

[damianr194]

@RespectTheANZACS russia

[DarthDecervyt]

Epica!

[riccardo230]

solo una parola: IN-CRE-DI-BI-LE!!!

[EverythingPretty]

Nice.

[marctb1]

Curtain opens at the back, and Darth Vader, with a squadron of the 501st walks in.

[OriginalWispyCorn]

That was fking AMAZING....

[darrenbrissett]

man this totally rox crazy lmao

[cifercal]

it's powerfull! Darth Vader should be proud!

[fredyboybr0]

do you see darth vader walking around???

XDDD

[frenzyXprime]

best music ever!!!!!!! star wars

[SuperQuack123]

why is the vidio 9:12 long when imperial march lasts for 3:00

[EvolSolitude]

the conducter must feel like the most powerful man in the world o.o

[AZCouchCommando]

@EvolSolitude Correction: he must feel like the most powerful man in the galaxy. ; )

[josegamaliel]

@EvolSolitude I think he does! LOL

[SuperQuack123]

good vid :)

[agustinho99]

Fiiii, Perfeito, Perfect, its a wonderfull song, a perfect theme, from the best film(6) of the world, of all times, STAR WARS, PERFECT

[jjqnario]

Darth should've conducted...with his lightsaber.

[B1ackp1astic14]

In the lego star wars he did...

[vitaminbomb56]

This is so sweet. Looks like they even have a Scout Trooper there.

[juustohoyla]

I just played the original recording over this video and it's spot on! Only thing that's lacking is the timpani. Other than that this is perfect.

[cooljeremiahmoe]

iloved it john williams rocks!!!!

[camerongray1998]

I like the stormtroopers at the bottom

[Greenpeace297]

John Williams, wonderful music.....

[VanessaMaeFan18]

um, no.

[unrealflashfan]

why isn't anyone cheering?

[saulocpp]

Because only idiots cheer while a orchestra is still playing.

[petrai12]

signor fener..

[Shogunnnnnnnnnnn]

i didnt notice for a long time that they get the people in star wars outfits to come in. Thats too funny. Id love to be sitting in there and have a storm trooper walk by.

[abacous81]

è vero! l'interpretazione è molto asciutta; ma in una marcia è assolutamente d'obbligo! e con ogni probabilità è stata voluta cosi' !

bellissima interpretazione!

cherno billy

[kehwa]

That performance hall is too dry. Awesome performance though.

[ricardoi18]

ma tutti bono per questo orchestra il la musica io soy braziliani muito bene il registrazione!!!

[hmabboud]

Thank you! I love it

[AcolyteOfDeath]

Haha, is that one of the emperor's red-robed guards in the front?

[OpisWahn]

Yes... Including two Stormtrooper (One Commander), a Tie-Pilot, a Scout Trooper, Darth Vader, the Emperor himself and one unknown Trooper (the one between the Emperor and the Guard.) Maybe one of them Tatooine Troopers from A New Hope...

[scottb3034]

Looks like an Episode III Clone Trooper to me...

Cool that all the Imperial type characters are up there...only happens in Roma. :)

[Aquaveritas1]

this movie steal everythin.. This march is Roma Empire march... <,<

[NemesisMLT89]

The galactic empire is so awesome, so is this vid

[alvarokas]

[Frub8]

May the force be with you, or MTBWU, as it is very unlikely to be called

[xtinablah]

[Zwarrior149]

[Entaje]

THis is good I am an all-state player of the Tuba and I haven't heard such good music orchrastrated in a long time

[Tralamierz40]

Wow! I am impressed. I've never heared so nice performance without conducting of John Williams.

[maloraluver]

No he didn't jump.

[BurtonKelly0]

Yes, actually he did. Watch is feet.

[stevey226]

He goes onto his toes, so he didn't leave the stand, therefore he did not jump.
