About This Track

Also knows as ‘Darth Maul’s Theme’, Duel of the Fates is a theme from Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace. It is widely regarded as one of the best Star Wars themes, perhaps second only to the main title theme song.

The choir sections are in ‘Sanskrit’. They are, and are translated, as follows:

Khara Matha Khara Rath Amah
Khara Rath Amah Yuddha Khara
Khara Syada Rath Amah Dai Ya
Khara Ki La Dan Ya

Khara
Khara Matha Khara Rath Amah
Khara Dan Ya Khara Rath Amah
Niha Ki La Khara Rath Amah

Translation
Khara=dreadful
Matha=head
Rath=speak
Amah=give
Yuddha=battle
Syada=raging
Dai=purify

For all my dislike for the prequel trilogy, this is a great composition - almost as great as The Imperial March!

If someone ever challenges me to a fight to the death, my only request will be that this is blaring loudly in the background. [5] I love this comment! :-D

its a tough call as to which is less bad, but I'd have to choose episode I over episode II (episode III beats them both) solely because of the soundtrack and this song in particular.
