Thanks for posting this! Well, it's a quite clear audible edit at that point. Hmm, this is weird, is there a possibility that you have repaired this segment at some stage and forgotten about it? It doesn't sound like it, maybe that print was damaged at that point?

The reason behind my thoughts is that the wampa cave sequence as seen in the 35mm release must be what Williams wrote the music for, an earlier cut of the scene doesn't make any sense to me unless they decided to cut that close-up of Luke at the last minute.
