Good assessment. I agree with it, and am still chewing on it.(1) I like the
way the insert opens up to be a mini-poster too. Quite cool.

Often, during a movie if you notice the soundtrack, it's not as well-written
as it could be. This makes sense with the filler/background music argument.

It is still my fav too. And I think it was written to be the signature piece
for this movie. The Star Wars theme on track is now basically cool reading
music.

I'm going for the sheer eye-candy of it all, and anything else will be a bonus
for me.

Try not to spoil it for me! :) I won't be seeing it for at least a week,
maybe two, as I can't justify waiting in long lines these days. I'll probably
end up trying to avoid the .starwars group for awhile after 5/19 until I see
the movie.

when replying, don't chew the spamcake.
(1) I managed to get my hands on the soundtrack a bit early as there was a a
promotional copy of the whole soundtrack (in addition to the "Duel" single)
sent to the radio station, and the news director managed to funnel this one to
me as well :) It totally made my week!
