Knowing John Williams as you do, of course!

Well, you don't need to know him in order to understand this simple fact, it's the way film scoring usually works. Sure there is tracked sections in the original films as well, but in the SE you've got music originally written for the trash compactor scene and music originally written for ROTJ dropped right into the Mos Eisley scenes.

Just take the scene where Luke and we as the audience see the Millennium Falcon for the first time. The score beautifully builds up to that moment, would he have written the music this way if we already had seen the ship in the Jabba sequence some time earlier?

One scene leads to the next... Lucas new additions are as subtle as a TV-commercial break.

The one exception I might've been willing to make is the wampa cave sequence.

Yet another addition where Williams score takes a hit, IMO it's unnecessary and destroys the great editing and drama of the original scene.
