To be honest I really am not so good with scaled visuals but for someone like me it looks ok (not an expert on this). Somebody else suggested it anyway. I could really do with watching the original theatrical releases again because I can not hear the difference in the music score from this and the special edition to have a real good opinion on it As for Buildings and costumes I just see cloud city and Vader although a crumby CGI one.
Problem is you can not pick them up now so easily the theatrical releases and you can't find it either on youtube or alike so It makes having a proper opinion difficult unless you own the theatrical release of which is now OOP.
I don't know if there is any real value in it per say it's about opening out cloud city I suppose my main point which is my opinion is that when they did the SE the shuttle should have been in the gap where Lando is pulling Luke across the top of the falcon The other idea is someone else but it caught my interest.
Either way by the sounds of it there is loads of omitted score from both theatrical and special edition because scenes were cut out It does not play this way in the film it is edited although without hearing it I cannot be sure.

What's more interesting is also that the script is different from the movie also.
1. Vader is meant to see the falcon departing and say's bring my shuttle
2. Scene re-arrangement going on.
Here is the script section.
EXTERIOR: CLOUD CITY -- LANDING PLATFORM
Vader enters the landing platform and watches as the speck
that is the Falcon disappears. The wind blows at his cape.
He turns to two aides who are standing near the entrance to
the landing platform.
VADER: Bring my shuttle.
EXTERIOR: BOTTOM OF CLOUD CITY -- WEATHER VANE
Nearly unconscious, Luke hangs upside-down on the weather
vane as his body shifts in the wind.
EXTERIOR: MILLENNIUM FALCON -- BOTTOM OF CLOUD CITY
The Falcon dives to the underside of the floating city.
Three TIE fighter close in on the starship.
INTERIOR: MILLENNIUM FALCON
Leia tries to remain calm.
LANDO: (pointing out the cockpit window) Look, someone's up there.
LEIA: It's Luke. Chewie, slow down. Slow down and we'll get under him.
Lando, open the top hatch.
Lando rushes out of the cockpit.
EXTERIOR: BOTTOM OF CLOUD CITY -- WEATHER VANE
Luke hangs by one arm from the crossbar of the weather
vane. He slips from the bar and grabs onto the pole of the
vane as the Falcon banks toward him. The Falcon positions
itself under Luke as Lando moves up through the opening of the
hatch. Luke begins to slide and finally falls from the vane
into space.
INTERIOR: MILLENNIUM FALCON -- COCKPIT
Out the cockpit window, Leia sees Luke falling from the
bottom of the city. The ship gains on him.
LEIA: Okay. Easy, Chewie.
The Falcon closes in on Luke.
EXTERIOR: BOTTOM OF CLOUD CITY
Three TIE fighters race toward the Falcon, firing away.
INTERIOR: MILLENNIUM FALCON -- HATCH
The hatch pops open with a hiss of pressure. Lando reaches
out to help the battered warrior inside the ship.
INTERIOR: MILLENNIUM FALCON -- COCKPIT
Flak bursts all around it as the Falcon banks away from the
city. Leia and Chewie struggle with the controls.
LEIA: (into intercom) Lando?
LANDO: (over intercom) Okay, let's go.

So the script is back to front a bit It's no wonder they cut Vader seeing the falcon as it had already turned back by this point. And the scene with Leia saying "Easy Chewie" was brought forward in the order, this suggests Luke was meant to fall further on to the Falcon and they caught him. This whole sequence is a bit of a jigsaw and I think it must of went through a number of different versions. From Script to filming ideas they had.
