Heh I suppose so :)
So this project, does it only involve The ESB or also A new Hope and Return of the Jedi? I guess only ESB. I haven't followed this topic in the recent years but my guess is that this audio/music is different from the Ultimate (2cd) complete versions of the first three episodes?
Only ESB. In a previous project, which also does a lot of good for the source material IMHO, he dealt with Star Wars and Return of the Jedi (see my sig).
I'm sure by 'Ultimate (2cd) complete versions' you mean the RCA Victor sets from 1997 that Sony rereleased in 2004. The only film that got a released called 'the Ultimate Edition' was The Phantom Menace, and that release was widely panned.
The music presented here is slightly more complete than the RCA Victor Special Edition releases, and uses a whole bunch of sources - the RSO CDs, the RSO LPs, the Anthology box set, and even the NPR Radio Drama. Just as important, ABC chose the best version of every cue and sometimes even overlayed parts of one recording over another, to get the most natural, nuanced kind of sound.
