I mean if you turn on the widescreen hack you can see how it loads terrain and objects on the fly. Death star levels are best to see this effect.

It's probably just culling objects that wouldn't be seen normally, like many other games do. Objects are still loaded into memory when they aren't visible. To load data from the disc, the game might need to wait for hundreds of milliseconds, and that isn't an acceptable delay when the user wants to do something like turning the camera around.
