Which Sierra are we talking about here? Choose your words carefully, I feel a rant coming on if you give the wrong answer...

LEC massively overused the original Star Wars cues when it could have been done so much better: In the "Knights of the old Republic" games, new music was composed in John Williams' style, and some of these cues were really, really excellent.

Exactly what I was referring to. Dark Forces and Tie Fighter also had great custom scores.

To put it in a nutshell, we actually need new music to make the games feel like a NEW installment of BTTF, not a copy of the movies. But I really don't expect TTG to go any other way.

Seconded.
