John William's score and Ralph McQuarrie's concept art. It's difficult to capture the kind of exotic epic that can be imagined by simply listening to that music and looking at those images. You can truly feel what the young George Lucas was aiming for. I don't know why, but somehow the feelings I get from those two elements feel purer and even better than even my experience of the film(s).

I wouldn't say that's necessarily better than the original films, but it's definitely close. Those two aspects are also, easily, the best part of what made Star Wars and it's two sequels the great movies they are (George Lucas' brilliant concepts might have failed otherwise). George Lucas relied on the talents of two truly great artists to accomplish what he did. He collaborated with many other fantastic artists as well and yet some people strangely believe that he pulled everything out of nowhere. :)
