I think what was originally composed for the PT was quite good. What pissed me off about the PT scores was how many tracked pieces he used. There are so many moments in the PT where they just cut and pasted previous tunes from the earlier movies into there. Of course, that started in ROTJ as well, where they use the TIE fighter chase from Star Wars during the Death Star core chase. But that was only that one time. In the prequels, especially ROTS, so much music is just reused, and it just seems so lazy.

And don't think I'm confusing reusing with leitmotif. They're the exact same pieces.
