9 Hidden Facts You Didn't Know About Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace

Staying on the planet of Naboo for this next entry, Lucas' first prequel concludes with a wonderful celebration as Gungans and the Naboo party on the streets after seeing off the Trade Federation.

It's a jolly and rousing final scene, though fans were well aware that the good times wouldn't last and this trilogy wasn't going to end on the most positive of notes. The darkness on the horizon was secretly foreshadowed here if you were listening closely.

You see, the upbeat tune heard throughout these closing stages is more important than it seems, as it's actually linked to the most awful person in the galaxy - a figure who was already covertly pulling the strings and plotting the rise of his new Empire at this point in time.

The theme of Emperor Palpatine heard during the original trilogy sounds strangely similar to the "Augie’s Great Municipal Band" theme playing at the end of this prequel, with the latter just being a faster and lighter version of the darker melody.

Much like Palpatine himself in this moment, the song may give off the appearance of being friendly and positive, but there's a great evil lurking underneath the surface.
