The Battle of Endor might not be the best example since it’s almost constant music even in the quieter Throne Room scenes. But you’re right, sometimes less is more, like for instance the last act of ANH. There is no music in the scenes leading up to the final battle because the filmmaker’s thought (rightly) that the absence of music would make its return much more powerful.
