I wonder if anyone can help, as I have a really stupid and ignorant question to ask.
Is it possible to get to see a copy of the score that JW used for the 'Luke and Leia' piece for ROTJ?
What I am particularly interested in is if any tempo change markings are displayed in the original score before rehearsal and recording, then how any handwritten notes of tempo change might have been added, then to be able to study any such markings so that I can understand how much the conductor/orchestra worked out the feel of the piece 'on-the-fly', so to speak, versus what was originally written by JW.
Or am I asking the impossible?
Mr. Williams is very protective of his music so I don't think there's much chance of seeing what you're looking for.
However, Hal Leonard Music publishes a number of Williams full scores under the "John Williams Signature Series" banner.
They provide a great insight to his composition and orchestration techniques.

Doesn't Williams conduct all his scores?

Well, it looks like none of the UK stores linked to on the Hal Leonard site are stocking the collection. Hal Leonard don't do consumer sales themselves. Does anyone know which (if any) of the US shops/sites would do international shipping for scores?
Hal Leonard does sell their own products direct. I have made many purchases from them over the years.
If you go to the product page, there is a shopping cart icon under the title page. Click it to make the purchase.
Easy.
