My favorite parts in ESB would have to be The Imperial Probe, Battle of Hoth, Asteroid Field, Attacking a Star Destroyer, Lando's Palace, Betrayal at Bespin, and End titles. It is interesting that a lot of these tracks (or parts of them) were used extensively in the earlier Lucasarts Star Wars games. Like for example in Dark Forces II: Jedi Knight, I would sit for hours just listening to the music and attempting to figure out where they were on the soundtracks, as I didn't have the soundtracks at the time.

Also what is with the people in hear using the names of ex-Rogue Squardon pilots? In that case I'll be Tycho Celchu; he's a better pilot than Wedge and Hobbie, and is probably the best A-Wing, TIE Interceptor pilot aside from Baron Soontir Fel
