Mystery motif

Canon Linked from 8 articles

A mystery motif written by John Williams first appeared in the 1983 original trilogy film, Star Wars: Episode VI Return of the Jedi, in accompaniment to "The Force Theme." Its usage is pervasive in the 2002 Attack of the Clones soundtrack, composed by John Williams and performed by the London Symphony Orchestra. The leitmotif is an arpeggio figure in a minor key, ascending and descending in a succession of notes. The motif has multiple variations, sometimes having a conjunct, undulating motion.
