So in essence what we have here is a precursor to the revised ESB prints after the 70mm premiere.
Wow, the stuff you learn here every day…the differing shots were a revelation to me but this flow of events is not surprising at all given how rushed the last weeks of post production were.
It’d be funny to see if anyone today even remembers doing any of these shots last minute…then again very few remember there were three audio mixes.
I tend to think of it as 2 audio mixes. The mono and the 4 channel. The 4 channel had LFE channels for the 70 mm, was encoded in Dolby Stereo for 35 mm, and Puggo Grand 16 mm has a mono down mix of it.
