Whichever track it was, I get why he wanted to tie it together, but musically it doesn't fit with the rest of the score in A New Hope. It's stylistically completely different, which is why I and some others don't like it. The intention is sound, but I think it's the prequels that need adapting to match the OT, not the reverse, and if you really have to do it, it has to match.

I guess it depends on what your own notion of 'matching' entails. Being so familiar with the original score/music-less 'duel' scene, it was kinda like the 'shock of the new' to me at first...but it quickly became one of my absolute favourite 'Revisited'-style moments of adywan's particular 'special edition' variation.

And since adywan *does* intend to adapt his 'Revisited' prequel versions to match the OT a bit more in certain ways, we may end up hearing a snippet of the original trilogy scores in one of *those* eventually too, who knows?...

Anyhoo, as far as ESB:R is concerned, I hope to finally finish my humongous 'Dagobah' post tomorrow to make up for my off-topicness. :) I fully expect some controversy, lol.
