The thing is that Williams' soundtrack for the prequels is forgettable. I can listen to the soundtracks of the OT and instantly picture where that music features in the films. Not the same with the PT. the cue you mention, i couldn't even hear it in my head and had to go and try to find which section you meant. That alone is reason enough for me not not change anything. The music in ESB is perfect. It's probably the best soundtrack of ALL the films. There is no logical reason to change any of the music in ESB, especially during such an emotional scene like that

the problem with the PT soundtrack is that there are cues and themes that sound like they come from a different JW scored movie. There is no way i could ever say that JW has developed so much as a composer since he scored the OT. In fact i would say the complete opposite. he has become stale and repetitive. There is a theme in AOTC sounds just like the Harry potter theme. And there are other cues that are recognisable from other films, and not necessarily JW scored films either. But a lot of the problem is that George hacked up the film so much in the editing that much of the music wasn't even scored for the scenes it is featured in. A lot was reused from TPM.

And i actually hate hearing the ROTS music during the ANH duel now, so that will be not making an appearance in the HD version.
