Just curious, but what have people thought of in terms of radical music edits? Nobody on earth does a better music score than John Williams, but a lot of the music in the prequels feels very canned and generic because of changes that were made late in the editing process if I remember correctly. I remember in Magnoliafan's episode 1 he added the swoop chase music in from Shadows of the empire and I thought it worked very well.
One section of Attack of the Clones that I think is in dire need of alternate music is the battle of Geonosis. The music for the battle in the arena is somewhat questionable.....but not that horrible. However, I cannot stand the subsequent music for the Clone Rescue and the battle outside. The music there feels so bleh it almost puts me to sleep.This is the start of one of the most speculated parts of the back story from the OT. The Jedi are going to war for crying out loud. There should be war drums getting pounded, or something suitably heroic to pump the action up.
One thing to think about is that there is music that was not used, so if those pieces were reinstated it could sound much better.
