The alternate score starts were Luke would have said "Yeah that's what you said when Biggs and Tank left" and goes on until the next scene (when looking for R2 the next morning). The music that was composed originally was much, much darker and more eerie. You see Luke looking at the sun sets and the music seems to be saying "The empire is out there and they will be coming. Nothing good is going to come from this and your future is uncertain." It's really cool. Gives a total 180 degree look at what that whole scene means. And it was all just a simple change in music.
