I changed some shots order, added two new shots and extended one shot in order to make the music fit. Maybe it can give some ideas, maybe not.

BTW, Ady, in case you are interested I will translate the subtitles for TESB Revisited to spanish (as I did for ANH).
There's a few jump cuts in there but on the whole it works a treat, a great piece of work.
The music might be even more in sync if the surplus to requirements shot of Han's Tauntaun was removed.
We can hear him on Luke's comlink, we see him ride the thing into the base, do we really have to see the model (and it's not a very good shot) stomping around far, far away?
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it. I agree, the "Han on Tauntaun from a distance" shot seems totally out of place, it has always bugged me. Maybe the music sync would be better without it, I'm not sure. I did this video quite long ago even though I published it on Youtube three months ago.
And the jump cuts are due to my limited knowledge on video/audio editing.
It might be worth giving it another go and even attempting to eliminate the double impact to see what it's like too.
I'm no expert on video/audio editing either (I'd love to be able to seperate music tracks from the rest of the sound mix for example, some films are wrecked by too much, too loud or inappropriate music) but little mini projects like yours A) help you gain new skills and you already have a degree of flair in that department B) serve as illustrations to other editors like Adywan about what might work in their projects.
It was nice to hear the music cues in the place that Williams intended them to be.
