Uhm, sorry? This bull[bleep!] (sorry...)
The dramatic string theme IS the same theme as the militaristic main title theme, this is the whole point of leitmotivic theme writing. There are far more subtle applications of this out there, but int this score it's right in your face... I can understand missing it at first, but to defend this position seems very strange to me... no offense, but if you consider THIS two different themes, then Star Wars doesn not have just one force theme, but more like 10 or 20...
