i think that it is more Lucas' idea to re-use the tie fighters music in ROTJ (specially in the "sail barge assault", because you can hear an alternative cue on the 97 SE discs)
On the subject of the Prequel music, i like it, it's probably the only thing that i've really enjoyed in the movies but i think there is an "overuse" of choirs in the scores, i feel that sometimes the music is trying to compensate the lack of drama and "epic feeling" in the movies.
