I’ve decided to update my “official” copy of the Latino Star Wars dub using the new VHS capture, and I’ll be providing updates in the usual places. Do not expect a miraculous change. The only audio changed at all is the ~1 minute Han-Greedo scene (VHS source), everything else is identical (35mm source). The new audio, like the old audio, is still a VHS capture, this time from a tape so old that other parts of it were completely unusable, but with this bit fortunately surviving.

So, getting rid of the muffling and general lo-fi sound during this scene was never really in the cards. However, I do feel that the new audio blends slightly better with the surrounding audio now (mostly EQ and noise floor differences), and is definitely better… just not as much better as I’d like it to be. Maybe we’ll get another 35mm reel with the Latino dub someday. Until then, this version may have to suffice.
