You really have to be careful when adapting themes from one fictional universe into another.

James Horner's Aliens soundtrack was really cheapened because he obviously recycled his Klingons theme from Star Trek III and even lifted from queues from the Star Wars soundtrack.

Even to this day I keep thinking the Bird Of Prey is going to lift Ripley off that landing platform.

Your adaptation of music from Superman in my view is too recognisable to be used in a Star Wars film.

Taking the odd sweeps and crash etc are fine but bending whole themes cheapens some of the really good work you have done.

It's your edit naturally but if I'm constantly hearing Smallville, for me it's hard to concentrate on a galaxy far, far away.

 Very wise words, but it's not like I have copy/paste 1 hour of Superman soundtrack.

I have made one mistake : copy/paste "Leaving home" orchestration and progression :

Very good explanation, and I agree... Especially with John Williams. He's done so much that at times two themes sound very similar. You could have also easily compared the Hook theme with the Harry Potter theme as well.
