I know you've said the youtube clip is only a rough cut but the music really brings me out of the segment. Lando's space battle with Empire's Han & Leia's love theme playing for example.

That's understandable. I put those two scenes up because they'll be the biggest deviations from the original film. I think it's the cleanest way to do it, but the soundtrack as-is doesn't work -- because the characters resolve the situation right then and there, it needed to have climactic music to match it. 

The music was used to mirror the R2-opening-the-Cloud-City-doors scene in ESB. I pushed it into the previous scene to make the music flow better, as it'd be too jarring otherwise. 

Are there any other recommendations for music? I may try other choices if anything strikes me as an improvement.
