What happened to "The Adventures of Han"?
Also, as the tiniest nitpick ever, why are the M cues labelled in film order instead of per "reel"? I only ask because this is how R2-D2 got his name.
I guess you can't put lipstick on a pig.
Do or do not. There is no "can't"... especially where pig lips are concerned.
Powell's music is swashbuckly enough for the adventures of a space pirate, so I don't understand the criticism of "trying too hard" (actually, I've never understood that fallacy).

What happened to "The Adventures of Han"?
I dare say, that as a piece written and recorded for the original album by Williams, it might not have been possible, or perhaps even desirable, for it to be part of this release.
I suppose. Buy the Deluxe, keep the CD. Roger roger.

I watched some YouTube review where they mentioned how much they hated the score because "it was trying to hard". I guess you can't put lipstick on a pig. Though the score is still fabulous. The expanded edition Ive heard thus far brings it up to HTTYD levels.
I loved the film. And I think the score is effortless. I think more people would enjoy the film if a) it was lit properly and b) they had skipped "this is why he's called Solo!" Especially the last part.
One thing though reminds me of when I had lunch sitting next to Alan Ruck. And after he left I and everyone I was with all just hemorrhaged the Ferris Bueller quotes we had been holding in. That's what The Kessel Run in Less Than 12 Parsecs feel like. "Screw it! I'm playing ALL of my favorite parts and you can't STOP me!" Because the rest of the score showed so much restraint it's just a delight.

It contains unused music, sure. Any bits Howard elected to dial down in the final mix. See "Proxima" and "Oksana Floren" for good examples.
As for alternates, yes and no. As mentioned a few posts up, he already put 3 bits that were different from the film versions on the original OST album; On this album, the film versions are heard in their place instead.
Beyond that, there are some additional patches/inserts into the final film, just minor things to conform to a changing edit in some action scenes. They aren't particularly exciting inserts (they don't make the music better), so I'm glad they're not here.
The alternate music for Qi'Ra Flying away at the end of the film, which is on the OST album, is the only real lengthy and truly different alternate.

Filmtracks mentions that Powell posted an "unofficial" booklet for the album that was quickly removed. Does anyone have any knowledge of this (...my email address is in my profile...)
