The music continuity is broken in several places, most notably in several
Cloud City scenes. 'Tis a shame, because TESB had the best music of the
three, IMO (though it might be surpassed by Duel of the Fates...) Also, the
men's choir piece near the end of ROTJ when Luke and Vader are fighting is
broken in one glaring spot. Totally ruins the mood of the scene for me.

You mean the end of ROTJ? Yah. I kinda liked the insipid Ewok music, too.
It felt raw, jubilant, like something old you shout just to celebrate. And
the cresendo at the end faded real well into the closing-credit credit
anthem. The new celebration music sounded too...night club-ish. Processed.
Composed. Modern.

Personally, I *liked* a Han who would pull the trigger first. He'd stand a
*much* better chance of surviving a good fight. This new Han might just let
the Death Star get off the first shot, to be, what, gentlemanly? Blah. Let
'im clean the Wookie cage.
