Even a neophyte fan editor could do a better job editing Williams' score than was done here.

You rang?

Took me literally 5 minutes, and I consider it sloppy and rushed. How the hell the official version got okayed though is utterly beyond me.

That is better but it's still an ending rather than an opening.

I'd imagine if someone took the open blasts of "The Throne Room" (designed to match the beginning of a triumphant scene) and truncated them you'd get something closer to the effect of the Fox fanfare.

Couldn't agree more. I think it's a completely unsuitable piece of music as a fanfare. This was just an exercise to prove that whoever knocked that together at Lucasfilm is incompetent and so are the people who approved it.

Personally, the fox intro IS Star Wars for me. I won't be watching any version with this new intro beyond episode 7. And I hope to God they realise how bad this version is before then, otherwise that's a really bad sign regarding their judgement.
