I'm assuming it was meant to translate to "seize the night", although "nocte" should really be used as an accusative, "noctem."

Latin-derived saying Let them hate as long as they fear?

Oderint dum metuant (let them hate, so long as they fear). Traditionally this is supposed to have been a favourite saying of Caligula, though he was probably quoting it from the early Latin tragedian Lucius Accius.


Let them hate so long as they fear?

This statement suggests that it is acceptable for others to dislike or hate you, as long as they also fear you. It reflects a mentality of using fear to deter criticism or negativity. However, fostering fear over hate may not lead to positive or respectful relationships.

Assuming you mean the Imperial March (the music that goes dum, dum, dum, dum-da-dum, dum-da-dum) ... yes, it is; very much so. I'm not sure who currently owns the copyright, but if you're looking to license it I'd suggest starting with BMI; I believe that they were the agents for John Williams at the time.
