Not for the last time on this list, George Lucas very much went out of his way to remind us that, while initially being utilised for the forces of good, the white-armour-wearing Clones were always predestined to drive a knife into the back of the Jedi Order.

This time using the medium of music to get over their villainous future, the instantly iconic notes rumbled into the scene first revealing the early version of the eventually infamous Stormtrooper suit in Attack of the Clones harkened back to another unsettling reveal one film earlier.

As the droid army of the Trade Federation invade the peaceful Naboo during the opening stages of The Phantom Menace, the exact same March can be heard thudding away in the background. The fact the very same tune was then intertwined into this all-important Clone reveal on Kamino subtly provoked the audience into feeling as though a dark fate was very much on the horizon where these Jango Fett copies were concerned.

In short, if you hear a March in this galaxy far, far away, be it Imperial of Trade Federation, bad times will usually come attached to whoever is being accompanied by it.
