Clone fanfare

Canon

A clone fanfare was written by Kevin Kiner for the score of the 2008 film Star Wars: The Clone Wars, its respective soundtrack, and the television series of the same name. The fanfare was used as a leitmotif to represent the clone troopers of the Galactic Republic, and later rebellious clones of the Galactic Empire. It is also rarely used to represent heroism of members of the Grand Army of the Republic in general.

The primary motif can be heard during "General Loathsom/Ahsoka" at the beginning and end of the track.

A secondary motif exists at 1:26 into "Obi-Wan's Negotiation." This motif relates to the arrival of Republic reinforcements or rescue mission in the movie as well as its uses in the television series.

The fanfare is played at the beginning of the episode "The Hidden Enemy" as well as the track "Buzz Droids," used in the The Clone Wars episode "Sabotage."
