A fried just got married and used the Star Wars Throne Room (Episode IV victory music) as his recessional. I’ve had the same idea (he just got married before me)
Any other tunes that would work?

Don’t need an answer fast…

Introduction rather than recessional, but a former girlfriend of mine came down the aisle at her wedding to Princess Leia’s Theme.
After our ceremony, we exited to the Star Wars Victory/end title - the Ewok one at the end of ROTJ. Some people got it, some people remarked how lovely it was to have traditional South American panpipe music to honour my Ecuadorian husband.
My friends got married last weekend and had a video game themed wedding. They used beautiful songs from game soundtracks. I know one was from a Zelda game and others were I think from a Final Fantasy and maybe one from Halo.
Their cake cutting was to the tune of “Still Alive” from Portal (the song mentions cake) and when the wedding party came in to the reception they used the Throne Music and Cantina Band music.
There is some crazy good video game music that you wouldn’t know is from video games.
Did they think “Yub Nub” was Quichua or something?

Any of the fine scores of Elmer Bernstein would be suitable, like this one.
If you like a little irony, consider thetheme from High Noon.
This was a processional, but I think it might work as a recessional as well.
And if you like fanfares,you can’t go wrong with this!
From the LOTR, the Bridge of Khazad Dum is kind of cool.
My brother’s wedding: Another One Bites The Dust. It was very awesome.
Friends of mine had the Princess Bride. I would have given anything if the minister had said, “Mawwiage. Mawwiage is what bwings us togethew, today.”
They must have done. 
I found it even more funny that my husband was too polite to correct the poor auntie of mine who said that.
My wife and I played “Good Lovin’” by the Young Rascals after the ceremony (which was held at the same place as the reception, so it wasn’t a true recessional) in honor of this scene.
A few years ago, my parents attended a wedding; the bride was the daughter of some friends of theirs. It was a non-church wedding, officiated by a friend of the bride and groom, who had gotten his ministry “certification” from one of those ads in Rolling Stone, or the like.
Anyway, when it came time for him to give a short speech / sermon, he started with that exact line, delivered just like The Impressive Clergyman. The bride and groom laughed, as did my parents…but the joke went over almost everyone else’s heads; they must have thought he had suddenly developed a very odd lisp.
Not geeky but my son, a huge AC/DC fan, had Highway to Hell as their recessional.
I wanted to use a version of the Final Fantasy main theme (piano, there are some great full orchestral versions out there as well), and my wife was on board, but the timing/fit in the ceremony didn’t end up working out. My wedding was still pretty awesome, but I do regret it a little bit, since a dozen of our friends would have gotten it and our families would never have had a clue.
Kind of “theater geeky” I guess, but I had just finished a tour with Fiddler on the Roof and our recessional was L’Chaim from that musical, and a good portion of the company who were attending joined in the song and danced out of the church with us. It confused the Baptist minister (whom my wife’s family insisted on) to no end.
