Neither. I prefer the scores to STAR WARS and THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK. Williams was obviously running out of gas for this series by 1983. Aside from the cues where the Rebel fighters engage the Death Star II and Vader takes Luke before the Emperor, this score was mailed in.

I wish every composer could be as out of gas. Jabba's theme, the final duel, the Emperor's arrival. I agree, I like Empire and Star Wars better. But boy that's some impressive mail.

Agreed. Just to add to your list, I also love Into the Trap, the music accompanying the Rancor fight, the Sarlacc Pit battle music, Luke and Leia, the music for Darth Vader's death, and the funeral pyre music. Parade of the Ewoks is a great piece as well.
Back to the topic, I never cared for the Ewok song at all, even when I was much younger, so I much prefer the Special Edition music. On the other hand, I prefer "Lapti Nek" over the dreadful song used in the Special Edition. Was that Jedi Rocks? Uggh. Anyway, it is a pity the version of Lapti Nek used in the film isn't available on cd. Similarly, I would love the music played by the keyboardist as Chewie is being lead away, and the slower version played as Jabba and company are flying to the Sarlacc Pit.

I always point to "Lapti Nek" as proof that I can love essentially anything John Williams does. Heaven help me, I adore that ridiculous piece of music. I didn't realize the film version was so very different from what made it to the soundtrack recording.

I always felt the original ending to Jedi lacked scope, from the "contained on planet" feeling to "Lub Dub." With the focus shifted to the entire galaxy and the redone music, I actually felt these two changes improved what I considered a pretty lame ending to a huge trilogy. The 1997 Special Edition of Jedi is my favorite cut of this film. However, the later changes were definitely overkill and worthless to me.
