I remade The Separatist Droid March Theme this time using all the pieces I could find. I used 2 tracks from the remastered album and other 3 from The Superlative Edition Album of The Phantom Menace, which contains every unreleased track of the movie. The Theme is about as long as The Imperial March, so finally also the Separatists have their complete unified single Theme.

*You just got Roger Roger'd*

This is where the war begins.

When there's a tax dispute on your planet and suddenly you start hearing this music

Droid Foundry: "How many battle droids do you require?" Viceroy Gunray: "Yes"

1:07 "Select a planet to attack"

Magnificent, aren't they?

What I loved about the Clone Wars era was that neither side was completely black and white. The Republic was framed as the good guys but had its fair share of corruption and dubious actions. The Confederacy was framed as the bad guys, but had its nuances, and was fighting for a good cause, at least in the eyes of its members. And both sides using armies of expendable soldiers, one made of slaves, the other of machines. I loved it!

When your the natives on any planet and this music comes on.

clanker is our word but you can say clanka

It is interesting how most prequel haters never even realised the Separatist Alliance were actuilly the good guys just portrayed as evil to throw you off. All from a certain point of view.

memorable battle droid lines "Check it out corporal, we'll cover you" "Halt, where are you taking them? Coruscant, uh doesn't compute uh uh, YOUR UNDER ARREST" "My legs aren't moving, I must need maintenance" "Drop your weapons, I said drop 'em" "What a terrible shot!" "Oh well, it's my programming" "Hold it. Hooold it. I SAID HOLD IT. WAIT! THAT'S FAR ENOUGH. I MEAN IT! STOP! I SAID STOOOOOP" "We're to big to fit in there!" "No we're not!" *crashes into trees* "You were right!" "Next time listen to orders!" "Get out of the way, all of you! I'm having a serious malfunction! DON'T SHOOT. I'M ON YOUR SIDE!" "Quickly! Ready, aim, fire!......FIRE!" "It's a lot better when they're not shooting back." "I still can't seem to hit anything." Fire Fighter Droid: "Watch what you're doing with that thing *click* WOAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA" "That was impressive" "Unit 26, if that you? You sound strange, is something wrong with your vocabulator? Take your helmet off, let me see your faceplate. CLONES!?" *bap bap* *pew* "Wait where are we supposed to go? Well.... guess I'm in charge now" "All this moisture is corroting my servomotors" "Go up to level 8, get your head adjusted, feeeeels great" "Oh, that would feel GREA-" "WHAT THE?" *Bap* "There's a jedi on the lose" "Uh oh" "Uh oh" "4724, how does the west end check out? WHAT THE?" "Begin attack!" "Yup! This is about the worst job in the droid army.. what? Huh? Oh. Ohhhhhh........." "ha ha ha, hahahah. You lose General Kenobi" *Twi-leks start running torwards tank* "Does not compute does not compute does not compute" *Twi-leks beat the crap out of the tractical droid* "it could be better if we just surrender- AH!" And of course... "Roger, roger!"

“The separatists have captured another command post”

One of the coolest armies. The Clone Wars period was amazing. The armies were so powerful on each side. They Sound stupid, look cute, but are evil little bastards the droids are lol.

1:47 instantly gives me chill, that massive army of droid invading Theed, it's so impressive.

Halt Where are you taking them? Coruscant, Uh, that Doesnt compute, Oh wait uh, *You're Under arrest*

I like how it sounds more heroic than the clones theme

I think The Separatist deserves a better storyline than those simple bad guy cliche, they are meant to be simple sure, but that can also come with some deep thoughts.

This easily rivals the imperial march

*Flesh is a design flaw.*

2:48 you start battlefront II as the separatists

Do you think the separatists had music droids to play this during parades?

Ouch time!

"It is an honor to stand before you, for you represent the freedom and the future of our galaxy. The once-great Republic and Jedi Order have become victims of their own ambitions, and the Supreme Chancellor is no more than a pawn of corporate monopolies. As a people you called out for change, you called out for leadership, and I humbly answered that call. Together we challenged the system. We asked for equality. And how were we met? With war! The Jedi secret army of clones was revealed, and their treachery was far greater than we could have imagined! Countless living beings-these clones the Jedi created-have been sent to their deaths, while we sacrifice mainly droids. Our soldiers of flesh and blood are willing participants! They are your fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, who fight not because they were grown and designed to do so, but because they know in their hearts that they are fighting for a just and noble cause!" - Count Dooku

2:48 Magnificent, aren't they?

I've heared lots of versions of the CIS march this is by far the best

friend: play us some good music me: Roger Roger

The fact that they sent heartless machines rather than lives into war is one of the biggest signs they were the good guys here

That awkward moment when you realize the Separatists were actually the good guys just manipulated by Dooku

What about the droid attack on the Wookiees?

0:05 Play this as the Separatists when you charge into the fight in Battlefront, and you'll feel the droid adrenaline pumping through your veins

From 3:06 onwards you can hear a hint of the imperial march playing on the backround

For real, the Droid Army has become my second favorite one next to the clone army. It's weaponry, the numbers, the special units, the terror appearance and the fact their enemies don't have so much plot armor is so cool.

"Activate the Droids"

When your sibling takes your snack without asking and your about to teach them a lesson 2:35

John Williams even gave the droids a super cool march. I loved this back in the day. Performing this music as brass instrument was super fun also.

As a kid, you learn to idolize the Clone Army but once you grow older you realize, "Wait, an army of cloned slaves who are bred to know nothing but war to fight against an army of disposable machines instead of actual living beings."

*_Eliminate the Clone_* *_Machines Are Superior_* *_Republic Meatbags Have Dropped The Flag_* *_You are a killing machineee!_* *_Enemy reinforcement Count is falling, Rodger Rodger_*

I miss the droid army. Hopefully they make some stories of some of them that survived after the rise of the Empire. Would be great to know if they also have some after the Battle of Endor.

An army that never tires, where when one unit falls two more take it's place, and can be manufactured by the thousands on the cheap. I love the clones but logically, had Palpatine not been playing both sides the CIS would've likely forced the Republic to surrender since it takes time to produce clone troopers and train them while droids can be instantly programmed en mass.

i can literally listen to 0:33 - 1:02 all day!

To be honest, the droid invasion and the appearance of darth maul is one of the best scores in Star Wars

“You were right, Master. The negotiations *were* short.”

2:48 Where Obi-Wan officially became "General Kenobi"

Me: Commander, activate the droids. Tactical Droid: By your command.

1:30 the most nostalgic part, reminds me of playing Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds

One of the dopest Star Wars themes.

0:51 gives me instant chills it just brings back so many memories

"Watch those wrist rockets"

Ever face off agaisnt the droids from Republic Commando?

Go team! Nice anthem!

It's a testament to just how good John Williams's score is, that I haven't seen the prequels in full in years, and haven't intentionally searched much of their music (at least not this track) since. And yet both this song's melody and at least one scene with it (the droids landing on Naboo) came flooding back to me immediately within seconds of hearing this. It just sticks with you like that.

"I'm clanker. But you'll call me clanka, or roger." "Roger Roger"

Hearing this in Star Wars battlefront while hundreds of battle droids march to battle and the announcer saying “Failure will reduce you all to scrap metal” is just epic.

Something about the main i guess chorus you'd call it with the CIS' theme is just PERFECT. It feels terrifying but somehow grand too telling you to run from an overwhelming force.

republic be like "Two hundred thousand units ready with a million more on the way" CIS: "100 million units ready, 10 billion on the way"

*”Open fire!”*

“It’s gonna be great.” “Yeah it’s gonna be great.” “It’s gonna be great.”

There’s no better music and themes than Star Wars tbh. It seems like every song can get you hyped

One thing I absolutely love about this theme and that of the Clone Army is that they sound so similar with the same exact tone. Almost indistinguishable. They get confused for one another so often. It really represents how both sides in the war were being manipulated by a single figure, and that at the end of the day the only thing that mattered was Sidious' grand plan - not whatever the Republic and Separatists as a whole thought they were fighting for. Compared to the Imperial March and the Alliance theme, which are drastically different in tone and sound.

Roger Roger

When all the Siris phone robots come together to attack Alexa.

“FOR THE SEPARATIST ALLIANCE!!!”

"Is that legal?" "I Will make it legal.." *Proceeds to invade Naboo/Theed*

I have been looking forward to this!

The Confederacy has captured another command post! Hostile reinforcements falling! Roger roger!

When you get a “CIS has conquered the galaxy” in galactic conquest and 2:42 vibes kick in

I love how this song reminds you of the clones ost. They weren't so different after all, the droids were just a bit more mechanic, menacing and fragile-looking, just like the song.

*Battle droid voice:* 'Who's Roger?''

the separatists were the good guys change my mind

Magnificent, aren't they? *this theme plays* Obi-Wan: Roger Roger

My favorite Star Wars faction

Imagine you're in an 18th or 19th century army and the enemy army appears with their musicians playing something like the Droid March

The music that plays in my head when I am attacking my brother for eating the last White Castle slider 😂😂👏

Although the droid army has been seriously nerfed, this theme always reminds me of what the battle droids could have been and how menacing they were in The Phantom Menace

3:09 As a kid, I always thought this part is a touch on Imperial March.

When one kid corrects the teacher and the whole class starts piping up.

2:48 “Magnificent, aren’t they?”

John Williams did not need to go this hard with this theme

That feeling when you are chilling on kashyk and you hear this song start playing

This makes me appreciate episode 1 so much more

one of my favourite themes from the prequels

Ants headed to ruin my picnic: This theme playing 1:28

2:00 OMG i frickin love this part,it gives me chills

Activate the droids! Yes sir!

My gosh!!! Man, you're legend! Like, this is one of the most beautiful and strongest themes made by John Williams, but also - one of the most "unlistenable", cos all of it's parts are hidden in between chaotic "background" music (originally made to be listened only while looking on the picture), and you just made it a full-fledged separate track... What a masterpiece!!! God bless you 😌🙏

Look at them standing like gigachads in the video, so cool.

"Coruscant. Uh, that doesn't compute... uh, wait, uh... YOU'RE UNDER ARREST!!"

"Ouch, time...."

Such an awesome track for such un threatening characters

“I find your ineptitude less amusing as time goes by” -Tactical Droid 21 BBY

Coolest thing abt the Separatists in my opinion is the fact that they just didn’t give up after the clone wars, even after 90% of their entire military shut down local Separatist pdfs and defense fleets continued fighting for literal DECADES, in fact most of the early Rebel Alliances forces were made up of CIS remnants. That guy in the mandalorian was not exaggerating at all, the seppies NEVER GIVE UP!!!

I like how the used this over the clones boarding scene at kamino. Magnificent aren’t they.

We get the point of view from the clones most of the time. I would love to see a series from Disney about the droid army and inner workings of those outcasts and "rebels"

Magnificent aren’t they?

When you want to show off the might of your 3 battle droid LEGO army.

My Lord... ist that legal?
