Welp, time for me to buy a copy of the movie from Amazon so I can get started.
Going back to my decision to replace all the music in the film, I thought I’d accompany this piece from a Quentin Tarantino interview about my decision.

It skips to the part of the interview I’m talking about.Music is supposed to drive the film and really build a connection with the scene it accompanies. With The Force Awakens, I think this is universally agreed on, while the soundtrack itself isn’t bad, or even it’s pretty good, it’s use in the film is awful. It’s hardly audible.
You might want to hold off on that decision until you get the blu-ray. the mix in many theatres was horrendous. But the Blu-Ray has a much better mix, with the music clearly audible ( as it was on a couple of showings in a different theatre i went to see it at)
