It plays until the end of Skywalker's destruction of the Separatist Council. It continues as Obi-Wan Kenobi confronts Padmé Amidala about where Anakin has gone, and then discovers that Anakin is the father of her children. This track is played during Anakin Skywalker's attack on the Executive Separatist Council and Palpatine's announcement to the Galactic Senate of his new Galactic Empire and his self-proclamation as Galactic Emperor. It goes through a few different versions before going into a variation of "Force Theme." After the march, "Battle of the Heroes" returns. Then the low brass comes in with the theme from " Battle of the Heroes." After that a selection of "The Duel," from Episode V, is heard followed by the return of "Battle of the Heroes." Next is a longer version of "The Imperial March." Then the rhythm speeds up right before the march returns. The trumpets then come in with a short soli each followed by a cymbal crash. As the track starts off, the beat is set by the strings, low brass, and percussion. Some of the track also plays while Yoda and Palpatine are dueling in the underbelly of the Senate Rotunda. This track plays under Obi-Wan and Anakin's lightsaber duel on Mustafar. The second part of the track plays when Palpatine instructs Anakin to go to the Jedi Temple and kill all the Jedi inside. The cue-a mournful, wailing voice proceeded by a slow string section-underscores the otherwise silent moment between Anakin and Padmé prior to the duel in the Chancellor's office. This track plays during the bridge fight on the Separatist flagship, and also when General Grievous escapes after dueling Obi-Wan on Utapau. The second half of the track consists of the music in the scenes where Anakin learns that Palpatine is a Sith Lord and Anakin's mission from the Jedi Council. The first part of this track plays while Palpatine is telling Anakin the story of his old master, Darth Plagueis. Starting at 1:25, the track becomes an action piece. A militaristic version of the "Force Theme" is heard at 0:38, heralding Obi-Wan's arrival on the Tenth Level. Most of the rest appears during the end of the wheel bike chase and the final fight between the characters on the landing platform, although parts of it were not used. The first part of this track (up to about 1:25) appears when Obi-Wan is searching for Grievous. It has a similar tone and style to "The Immolation Scene." This track, a sorrowful adagio representing the fall of the Jedi, underscores the Order 66 sequence, and is reprised when Anakin confronts his wife shortly before the duel on Mustafar. This is actually a concert suite of the theme. This track starts to play after Obi-Wan and Anakin are caught in a collapsing control arm on Mustafar and ends when Obi-Wan Kenobi leaves Anakin on the edge of the lava river. A statement of " Across the Stars" appears at 0:26, and again at 2:27, while brief portions of the " Force Theme" are heard from 3:33. The track plays during Anakin Skywalker and Padmé Amidala's scenes at her apartment, Anakin's nightmare, and the following scene on Padmé's veranda. Although the previous films, and indeed, Episode III, had a quieter descend into the next piece, here, earlier than previous films, this track does not follow the music heard in the film after the opening titles. The track starts off with the main theme. Tracks Star Wars Main Title And the Revenge of the Sith
