My highlights thus far:

3) Empire Strikes Back lost music with David W Collins

GlastoEls is there any chance you can tell me about number 3 please. Empire Strikes Back Lost music?

I was at that panel also. John Williams originally created music for many of the scenes that now have no music. For example, several scenes on Hoth in the rebel hideout. There is a lot of ambience but no music. They played clips showing how it is now, and again with the music put back in. The way it is now, the music fades out and back in at certain points usually at new scenes. With all of the original music put back in, it keeps going and is timed pretty much perfectly with where the music fades back in. They made it sound like the lost music has been available for some time and he simply mixed it back into the movie to illustrate how the scene would have been with the music in place. It totally changed the vibe of the scene and they were right to remove the music. It was more powerful not having it at certain places.

So, it seems that anyone who has the lost music could recreate this if they wanted.

Edit: Found this and I didn't listen to it but it seems like the same thing we witnessed except this version doesn't have the video:http://www.shotglassdigital.com/2014/06/05/lost-music-returned-to-empire-strikes-back-on-sw-oxygen/
