With all of the changes made to the original trilogy from FX to even dialog for the special editions, I noticed something missed.
I was just listing to the soundtrack to New Hope, and wondered why Lucas didn't have John Williams add the Vader theme to this score. It's in every other episode. All through Empire, his death scene, even when Anikin is a kid before he is vader, etc, ---but not in New Hope

Did Lucas miss this, or was there another personality or ego just as big as his that couldn't be tampered with?

I'm thrilled it's not there, because the score is great as it is. It just doesn't seem consistent with all of the other garbage fine-tuning changes that were made throughout the original trilogy.
