Qui-Gon's Theme

Qui-Gon's Theme is a musical theme composed by John Williams and associated with Qui-Gon Jinn in The Phantom Menace.

It plays most prominently in the film when Qui-Gon is dueling Darth Maul on Tatooine, in the track "Letting Go / Attack Of The Sith" of the Extended Edition of the Episode I soundtrack. Qui-Gon's theme is also heard as he talks to Obi-Wan while dying. In the Ultimate Edition soundtrack, the theme is first heard in a jaunty form in "Anakin Is Free", as an action piece followed by a mellow variation in "Qui-Gon and Darth Maul Meet", and as a lament in "The Tide Turns/The Death of Darth Maul", which ends with a brief, triumphant version underscoring the arrival of Palpatine's shuttle on Naboo.

A brief reprise accompanied the vision of Qui-Gon in the Star Wars: The Clone Wars episode "Overlords". This was a slower version, played at a similar tempo to "The Force Theme."

A similar figure is played when the Tyrant is disabled by the Rebel Alliance's v-150 Planet Defender ion cannon during the Battle of Hoth in Star Wars: Episode V The Empire Strikes Back.
