Ganesan's score9.3

Hoth still hits like the day Burtt mixed it

AT-AT footfalls thump through the sub in slow, deliberate cadence that the remix never tries to speed up - Asteroid field debris pans across all four corners with the iconic whoosh-and-tumble Foley fully intact - Carbon-freeze chamber clouds fill the surround field with a steam hiss that has discrete pressure points
