To be fair, the Phantom Menace 2CD special edition was a major misread of what fans wanted. We wanted the music as it was recorded, not as it was hacked up for the movie.
That said, I was ready to take any opportunity to have more of this music.
Cheers
All can blame the master of all disaster..George Lucas..who actually thought he and yes team Producer Rick McCallum (Yes George) editors could fix Phantom Menace in the Editing Room. I believe these Yes George Men..including Ben Burtt..editor and sound editor and Paul Smith editor and poor George who wrote a poor script, created one of the most hated characters Jar Jar Binks, and cast a Young Actor who couldn’t act Jake Lloyd and was too young..and had the impossible job of any kind of acting what George Lucas wrote! George stretched a far fetched idea onto paper that was probably at best one good film..into one poorly constructed film, Phantom Menace and It’s just OK..The Attack of Clowns..and finally coming up with a 1/2 way decent film The Revenge of the Sith.
Then Whatever Lucas and Ben Burtt put together for John Williams and The LSO to Composed and Record ..was Ruined by once again this constant meddling by Lucas and his Lucas Yes Team of are re re editing and truly Clucked Up what John Williams wrote! In fact just mere days before the release in May 19th 1999.

I absolutely adore Williams’ work - but a film score serves the film, and if the director chooses to use only parts of what was composed because the film needed that, then that‘s their prerogative.
