This release by The Starkiller is fantastic.

The original source is really crappy as we all know but this transfer looks to me to be as near as possible to the VHS as we will ever get.

The menu option to go direct to the main mono mix differences is a master stroke.

The highlight for me is the DVD ROM content which includes "The Starkiller's Guide to the Mono Sound Mix". This compares the differences between the mono and the stereo found on the 1982 NTSC LaserDisc - which is as near to the original 1977 theatrical mix as we will ever get.

This guide is just brilliant!!!!

For each difference, there is a brief screenshot and the option to play the mono or stereo version. All the well known diferences are there along with many more that I have never noticed.

This guide is the only guide you will ever need to the mono mix and it demands to be uploaded to a website somewhere to be seen by all. In fact, please consider this a request to The Starkiller to do this. I am sure that a home could be found at the Galactic Trade Federation if needed..........
