When George Lucas released Star Wars in 1977, he likely had no idea just how deeply his “space opera” would embed itself in global pop culture. What started as a groundbreaking sci-fi adventure quickly became a multi-generational phenomenon. Decades later, the magic of Star Wars continues to capture the hearts and imaginations of fans—both young and old. From the classic original trilogy to the prequels, sequels, spin-offs, and animated series, the galaxy far, far away just keeps growing—and so does its fanbase.
One of the newest fans isn’t even old enough for kindergarten. A 2-year-old toddler recently had his very first Star Wars experience while watching the movie with his dad, Jonathan Liu. The film made such a big impression on the little guy that it stayed with him even after the screen went dark. Later that evening, when his parents put him to bed, they heard something surprising and adorable through the baby monitor—he was humming The Imperial March from memory!

That’s right—the dramatic theme usually reserved for Darth Vader’s powerful entrances had somehow become a lullaby for this toddler. He didn’t stop there, either. He also tried to hum the iconic Star Wars opening theme, showing just how catchy and impactful John Williams’ legendary score really is—even to a preschooler.
Watch him also sing the main Star Wars theme…
It’s not every day that you find a toddler so enamored by orchestral movie music, but Star Wars is no ordinary film series. It just has that kind of magic. From kids humming along to fans like Jimmy Fallon singing medleys with the cast, the music of Star Wars continues to inspire all ages. For this little one, it’s safe to say the Force—and the soundtrack—is already strong with him.
