I just saw this on youtube. The ending for Return of the Jedi while it was in the process of being redone for the special edition. The music is a temporary track and the shots of the planets are just storyboards. It is edited as it appears in the special edition.

I recognize that music. It was the title track to a television documentary series about North-American natives called 500 Nations.

No kidding! I'll have to check out the documentery.

Even in the poor quality, I still liked the temp music better than the yub-yub.
