Galactic Empire (19 BBY–5 ABY) Official anthem: "Glory of the Empire"

Glory of the Empire is a fictional anthem from the Star Wars universe.

"Glory of the Empire" was a patriotic musical piece adopted as the anthem the Galactic Empire. During Empire Day parades, an upbeat version of the anthem was played, representing everything that the Empire stood for.[1] By 3272 LY,[2] on the Outer Rim planet of Lothal, the Imperial anthem was also played before official grav-ball championship matches,[3] as well as on the Empire's fifteenth annual Empire Day.

"Glory of the Empire" is a variation of the out of universe composition "The Imperial March," by John Williams, which first appeared in the Star Wars: Episode V The Empire Strikes Back, serving as the theme for the Galactic Empire and Darth Vader. Throughout the Original trilogy, various versions of the song were composed, and have continued to appear throughout other Star Wars media.
