Arnie, if you could PM me the link too I would be grateful!

Are they definitely 70mm scans, though? The reason I ask is that they appear to be full 2.35:1 without any cropping, but I though the Star Wars blow ups were 70mm full width – ie. 2.21:1

Thanks for all the help, sorry for not getting back sooner!

I was surprised by this claim in the first source:

'LD analog sound, at 75 dB s/n, is comparable to broadcast FM radio and superior to 35mm mag/optical film tracks and VHS Hi-Fi ...'

Is this correct? Is the signal to noise ratio the only factor in determining the quality of analogue sound? Does anyone know what the s/n for 35mm optical or magnetic is?

As far as I know the current audio recording of the original 1977 Dolby Stereo sound mix for Star Wars was preserved by Belbucus using the analogue track on a laserdisc. Would I be right in thinking that while the Hi-Fi sound on VHS tapes is inferior to Laserdisc digital PCM, it <span class=“Italics”>is</span> actually better quality than laserdisc’s analogue sound?

If so, would using the 1984 CBS/Fox VHS or Beta tapes provide a superior source for preserving the original theatrical audio mix?
