I feel the same way about the duel music......its just too much for ANH, and it overpowers whats going on.....honestly its the one and only fly in the ointment for me on this one. The emperors theme I find doesn't quite fit, but I'd probably not say much if it was my biggest complaint, and oddly enough I have zero problem with the new TIE reveal and imperial march.

Aside from that, the only other thing wouldn't be something he did, but something he DIDN'T do........and thats remove the horrible CG establishing shot of Mos Eisley with the scurriers....always hated that shot.

But in all honesty, the only one that really sticks in my craw is the duel music, and it seems like Luke's yell of "NOOO" comes a little too late, but that could just be because I'm not used to the new pacing.

I find it so unfortunate because apart from that one piece of music, Adywan's version would be, for me, the perfect retooling of ANH that I had always had in my head. I mean if I just flat out hated it, then that would be that.....but I actually love it, except for that one detail.

If I went purist then I'd lose some of the stuff that I really love about his new edit (ie: the re-arrangement of the Ben's hut sequence, which IMHO is what is should have been all along)
