I don't know if this is common knowledge or not but I was watching Raiders of the Lost Ark and I realized Marions theme starts with the same two notes as Han and Leia theme from The Empire Strikes Back.

I thought this was pretty cool given how both themes are about the love interest of Harrison Fords two biggest characters. You can listen to one and hear the next part to either theme.

I wonder if this says something about John Williams and how he goes about creating his theme. I dont know though, someone who knows a lot of about movie scores tell me how I should feel about this.

Links:
Marion's theme
Han and Leia's theme (Starts at 15 seconds cuz thats when the main riff everyone knows starts)
