The whole series is based on that track.
I wouldn't say that at all, because the song was made for Ezio and his familiy. (Hehe, of course it was)
But if you say so, please, explain to me how AC:Rogue and AC:Unity (titles that has nothing to do with Italy, Ezio or the "lovely" concept of family) are based on Ezio's Family?
Respectfully, I'll tell you: They aren't. It's pure fanservice.
Classical Star Wars songs are repeated across every game with variations after all. However, it did feel out of place in its remix in Rogue, and moreover, I think the greater issue is whether it matches the setting.
There's a difference friend: The overused of the Starwars songs are acceptable because most of them aren't focus in a specific character, but in certain scenes and battle concepts. Of course there's some exceptions: "The Imperial March" (Darth Vader's theme), but this song is used only when Vader makes an appearance or when Sith soldiers are destroying his enemy and winning, if I'm not mistaken. That's okay, there're concept that have in common.
Ezio's Family was created as a "casual song". Jesper only made it as a reference of the renaissance and keep it in his files just in case. When Ubi confirmed the character of Ezio to him, he used it. (This info can be confirmed in the "Assassins Den" podcast). And if I'm not wrong, Ezio's Family is only heard twice in the whole series: Introduction of AC2 and ACBr. (Variations like Venice Rooftops or Earth don't count) And that's all. Concept of Family (father, mother, siblings): Check, Ezio: Check. That's why the use of it is so wrong in other titles. What does it have to do with Egypt? Or with a Syndicate of Crime? Or with the French Revolution? Or with the purge of the colonial assassins?
Personally, I say it's overrated.
