Anyone remember reading this in 2002? I don't.
cinescape.com said:A little more is coming out about that STAR WARS SPECIAL-SPECIAL EDITION we touched on last week. It seems in the Dutch magazine Score, John Williams indicated he would be slipping the Imperial March into STAR WARS EPISOD IV: A NEW HOPE (which we’d already brought you) but the new-SPECIAL EDITION for the film would make its premiere on DVD, and not another theatrical release.
“I am thrilled to have the chance to go back to something I composed in 1977 and be able to make the entire saga continuous theme-wise," Williams said. "Notably absent in the first movie is the Imperial March. Being able to insert that theme in the first movie will create a much stronger emotional flow throughout the Saga… After the release of EPISODE III George will enhance the original trilogy with additional scenes and special effects, adding my adjustments to the score this will seamlessly branch the entire STAR WARS SAGA into one massive romantic space opera. I think something of this magnitude has never been done before."
