With “Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens” now streaming on FandangoNOW and other digital platforms, it’s only a matter of time before fans are left humming the “Imperial March” theme song wherever they go.

This time, though, a cockatiel may join in, depending on your proximity to Fort Thomas.

Chester, a male cockatiel, went missing March 26 after he flew out of his yard on Tower Hill Road, according to this Craigslist post. Like a normal cockatiel, Chester is gray and white, with a yellow head and orange cheeks.

Unlike a normal cockatiel, Chester knows the “Imperial March” – and he sings it, too, according to the listing by his owner, Diana Estep.

If you’re not a “Star Wars” junkie like Chester, the “Imperial March” is the musical theme associated with the franchise’s villain, Darth Vader. The song was created for the film in 1975 by composer John Williams.

So, if you’re out and about and hear the song above, don’t worry about pulling out your lightsaber in defense. It’s just the winged Vader, who may be found on the ground or in short shrubs or trees, Estep wrote on Craigslist.

And, while a “Star Wars” superfan that happens upon Chester may want to keep him, Estep says the bird is “very much missed” and she would like to have him back.

"He's a sweet little guy and I do hope to find him soon," Estep said in a message to The Enquirer.

If you’ve ominously heard the song, especially around Fort Thomas, or want to help Chester get home so he, too, can watch the seventh installment of the saga, check the Craigslist posting.
