I searched and did not see this on here anywhere, but if it is I apologize for repeating it.

I've been out of the loop and not feeling too great.

Is this a complete set of the soundtracks, or are there still things missing?

And why wouldn't they include the new one?

It seems like the powers that be have disowned "Lapti Nek," the pulsing dance track performed by Jabba's palace band in Return of the Jedi. It was dubbed over in the reissues. Still, it was included on this previous box set, compiling the music of the first 3 movies, which can be had for a fair price on the used market:

P.S. Good to see you back posting, Pete.

Welcome back, Pete!

You missed the original thread for this box -- I've merged everything into that.

In anticipation of tomorrow's release, Amazon USA has dropped the price for this box set by $11, to $63.98:
