I do like the music for ROTJ, but just not quite as much as SW and ESB. Jabba's theme just doesn't demand repeated listening for me, but it is much more memorable than the themes in the PT. The music in some instances seems less detailed (seems to me to be fewer harmonizing instruments, more emphasis on the melody only) but nowhere near so as the PT music. When I saw ROTS I was surprised that the 20th Century Fox fanfare, and the opening title music were so quiet and had so little dynamic range. Based on my DVD, and seeing it on HBO-HD, it seems that this was the way it was intended to be.
