Thank God for that! In my mind this was the single most hurtful aspect of the ESB SE. The music scoring for this section of the film is nearly Shakesperian in intensity and flows superbly. There's hardly any dialogue in this last act and it almost works like an opera relying on the intensity of the music. The sudden and jarring editing of music just to insert a worthless CGI shuttle sequence just absolutely destroys the flow of this wonderful scene. I bet John Williams just had his head in his hands at this point!!!
As for the sound mix, the scene were Chewie is throttling Lando, some of Leia's or Threepio's (can't remember off-hand) is suddenly burried beneath Chewies roaring! Yes another example of a rushed sound re-mix for the SE's. Is it possible to reinstate the sound for this scene using another mix?
Cheers!
