Darth Vader and the Imperial March

I often hum (sing) the Imperial March song from Star Wars when calling on students in class.  The Imperial March is used when the villains (bad guys) make a dangerous situation for the heroes.

If you watch Star Wars, you should notice many ideas from Asian cultures.  The Force (the power that Darth Vader and the Jedi use) is very similar to ideas in both Taoism (Daoism) and Buddhism.  The Jedi's way of life is similar to the famous Shaolin monks of China.

Here is the full song with scenes from the movies.



If you enjoyed that, here is the first scene from the original Star Wars movie that was made in 1979.
