It appears there will be new mixes for the first six Star Wars film scores available soon?:-
‘Remastering The Score - Relive the Iconic Music As It Was Meant To Be Experienced’ was shown in…
‘George Lucas and Dave Filoni Talk The Clone Wars, Plus Anthony Daniels Stops By!’ - ‘The Star Wars Show’ episode:-
^ a 2 minute piece… starting from 3m 55s into the video.

“The difference is these releases are derived from the original film mixes - not the re-mixed LP versions which have previously been released.” - Shawn Murphy, Scoring Mixer.
I love the way the people involved in this offical preservation project / release talk about how important it is to archive and preserve the original content from the vaults - and for people to hear the iconic music as it was meant to be exeprienced!
A shame this is not the case of the films themselves…
