I think ROTJ has more memorable musical themes but New Hope establishes the tone for the entire series so it's one spot above. Duel of the Fates is why Phantom Menace ranks so highly but there's nothing memorable about the soundtracks to AOTC and ROTS.

Probably, yes. Actual implementation details are scarce so far, but it sounds like that's the route for in-market streaming. Local television broadcasts could be available via cable/satellite packages, but that's still unclear too.
