If only having a measly 8-minutes of overall screentime in A New Hope wasn't enough, it turns out that Darth Vader was also without his iconic theme tune throughout the first-ever Star Wars flick, too!

How rude.

And not only was Vader's debut Imperial March-free, it turns out that Episode IV actually sits as the only Star Wars movie to not once throw out even a version of the iconic theme at any point in the tale.

It was only debuted in The Empire Strikes Back and quickly went on to become one of the most recognisable bangers the galaxy has ever known.
