I have to agree it felt flat to me and without the same emotional impact as the final release version
Thank you for your comments; in the 80's cinemas it made sense to hear it that way because it still was a typical way to score a big movie (orchestral sound), music was loud in the stereo dolby surround mix and we didn't have subwoofers then. In SE DVD that same ominous sound sounded suddenly thin and oldfashioned to my ears thus the whole music score which drove the original movie loud was degraded to "one of the things you hear" in 5.1 with now much important subwoofered foley track (sounds). Interestingly, music score was not subwoofered because somebody obviously didn't care. Executor reveal in 5.1 is a best example of that . That's why I believe that this deliberate version might do justice because it's less strings but more brass driven, which also better represents empire and one can put a lots of sub-engine-noise below without disturbing the sound.
Well , that's my opinion, but let's see what others and especially Adywan think about it - I suggest it to be tested.
