Now this is NOT the same as ABC’s stellar reconstructions of the Trilogy scores, The majority of the sources used were from the Anthology discs,  and bits from the SE discs that were not on the anthology.

This edition takes all the material and presents it as recorded, for instance

1. The love theme statement in Speeder Bike Chase/Land of the Ewoks is edited out and restored to its intended place in “Han Solo Returns”

2. The “Jabba More Sinister” insert is excised from the track “Luke Confronts Jabba” and presented as its own track.

3. The Inserts edited together in the opening of the track "The Lightsaber"is presented in its proper placement in “The Emperor Arrives”

4. The Insert in The Ewok Battle is restored via Blu-Ray Rip.

5. The “Brother and Sister” skip is smoothed out.

6. The Original Version of several cues are presented.

7. The Film take of the end credits is presented

8. The Theatrical version cues are used in the main presentation, the SE cues are presented as alternates.

Equalization has been applied to all cues to bring out the harsh quality of the brass, and brighten the sound to remove the muddled and fuzzy sound of the original CD, I believe you will find that it brings the scores sound into the same realm of sound of the great Williams scores of Raiders of the Lost Ark and the like, and make a galaxy far far away sound a little closer.
