Really? Very interesting. I guess I’ll use that mix then I prefer punch and impact over clarity and noise especially since the 1980 mix sounds good anyway not like it’s fuzzy or indirect sounding anyway) and just patch in the se audio to fix some of the bad music cuts I’m the original version.

I think the 1997 mix is the best for the original star wars though. It sounds really good. Doesn’t suffer from the muffled and worn out sound of the original (listen to the music cues where the music gets loud over scene transitions… Some of those sound just awful) yet it also doesn’t have the problem of every line of dialogue sounding like a different take and quality and sounding blared and clipped that every version 2004 and onward has, so it’s the best of both worlds.
