Victory motif

A victory motif was written by John Williams and performed by the London Symphony Orchestra for the 2019 film Star Wars: Episode IX The Rise of Skywalker. The leitmotif is in major key, and varies in rhythm and tempo, as well as instrumentation. Excluding the last two notes, the motif appears in Star Wars: Episode II Attack of the Clones as the opening notes to "Across the Stars." Additionally, the first three notes of the motif form a part of Rey's Theme. It also uses first notes of "March of the Resistance".

In The Rise of Skywalker soundtrack, the victory motif is played in the tracks "The Rise of Skywalker", "The Final Saber Duel", "They Will Come", "Approaching the Throne", "The Force Is with You" and "Farewell". Together with the friendship motif, the victory motif nearly makes up the entirety of the 4 minute 20 seconds track "The Rise of Skywalker." In the awards consideration version of the soundtrack, which takes music directly from the final cut of the film, the motif appears in the track "Rescue."
