star wars has always sounded good. the quality of the recording for the film’s sound track has been better preserved across a few home formats, compared to the visual content, which has rarely been treated with patience, care or respect.

Not really. The original film sounds like garbage on all home media until 1997, and then you have to deal with stupid content changes. Then 2004 onward it sounds even worse than before. Basically the 1997 mix is the only decent sounding mix on home media. (I’m sure the original Tracks sounded better when they were on fresh prints) thankfully it’s been edited by some to conform to the oot.

Really? I don’t think you’ve met my friend Laserdisc. The 1993 THX LD mix can even give a modern home theater system a workout.
