ABC, when I told you that the "Carbon Freeze" cue's placement on the SE CD is correct, it's both right and wrong.

 Ah. Sorry to hear that. Indeed it's still bugging me to have it in the middle (mostly on the beginning of Darth Vader's Trap).

If it had to be shown as an alternate however, I'd have put it at the place I felt since the beginning: before the Duel. It fitted so well. :) ... Because look how is constructed the set. It would have been lost as an alternate in the unused cues, and it has really not the "calibre" to be the final track on this masterpiece score.

I don't know if I'm going to do anything about that in the end.

Edit: however, the only interest of this alt. bit could be to temper the fast action film versions edits I can still add on this set as suggested before, what may give:

  • 17. Main Titles/Probe Droid Overture (Alt & Film edit)
  • 18. SnowsPeeders (Film edit)
  • 19. Trapped In Carbonite (Unused)
  • 20. Departure of Boba Fett (Film Edit)
  • 21. Training of a Jedi Knight (Unused)

 

... You wouldn't have a more complete score then, minus the Mynock cave alternate mini segment, wich unfortunately wouldn't find its place here. I'll watch for any suggestions.
