I think orchestral music with choral overlays can work quite well - Lord of the Rings makes extensive and excellent use of this.
My only musical objection was having to used synthesized trumpets to hit those crazy high registers right before the credits - wasn't Maynard Ferguson still alive when Ep. I came out? =)
Just like the rest of the movie, that chanting or singing had no continuity with the first three films. Obviously the story had continuity, but the style was over the top with the over incessant pounding of the special effects. It was never used in New Hope, Empire or Return...so why toss it in there now? Ugh...I can still hear it.
As far as when I am looking forward to seeing the 3D used, I'll put them in no particular order.- The opening space battle in Revenge of the Sith. I thought that was pretty awesome in 2D, in 3D it could be stunning.
- The pod race. Ehh, it was in the first movie, but it could be pretty cool. But since it's in the first one I won't be seeing it.
- Battle scenes in Attack of the Clones..there were some good ones in there.
- Battle immediately prior to and after Order 66 in Episode 3.
- Annakin and Obi Wan's chase of the changeling in Attack, that could be fun.
- Obi Wan being chased by Jango Fett.
- Hoth battles. That's gonna be awesome.
- The attack on the Death Star in New Hope.
- Both Death Stars blowing up.
- Han Solo's rescue in ROTJ.
- Darth Vader vs. Luke on Bespin.
- Luke and Han on the Millenium Falcon vs Tie Fighters.
