... Makes me think it's been many years since I haven't grabbed the occasion to watch and appreciate this film again.

And now with Adywan's 1980 theatrical version coming in the next couple days, what better opportunity? :) I'll be doing the same thing myself.

RE: cut music: Watching the clips on youtube, some of the edits make since (the lightsaber duel), while some I would have preferred to be intact (Luke's Jedi training followed by the TIE asteroid bombing). Ah well, creative license, no?

I just wish more composers today would wait to score the film until a final (or near final) cut is done. The you get the possibility of fantastic film scores than not only compliment the film, but can stand on their own (ESB, of course, and the highly under appreciated Conan the Barbarian come to mind). Or you could start scoring midway through the edit and get a hack job (the prequels - especially AOTC). And let's not even start on all the banal film scores coming out of Hollywood nowadays....
