Walkers motif

A leitmotif originally written by John Williams and performed by the London Symphony Orchestra first appeared in the 1980 film Star Wars: Episode V The Empire Strikes Back in the track "Imperial Walkers." With the musical figure being played by a piano at low pitch, the leitmotif imitates the heavy stomping of the All Terrain Armored Transport during the Battle of Hoth. Episode V music containing the motif was later tracked into the score for 2019's Star Wars: Episode IX The Rise of Skywalker, where the music is played during the Millennium Falcon hyperspace skipping scene.
A rendition of the motif was composed by Chris Hülsbeck for the 1998 video game Star Wars: Rogue Squadron. The motif plays throughout the track titled "Volcano Battle" in the game's Concert Hall feature, with the track being played during the Rogue Squadron Y-wing raid on Sullust.
The leitmotif is featured in the track "AT-ACT Assault" played in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, a 2016 anthology film composed by Michael Giacchino. The motif is played during the Battle of Scarif, when the Empire's All Terrain Armored Cargo Transports appear on screen.
The leitmotif is played on multiple occasions in the animated series Star Wars Rebels when the Spectres encounter and battle AT-DP and AT-AT/P walkers.
