What I don’t understand is that if the original 1997 Special Edition prints were given a new remaster, then how come the sound mixes still sound so compressed as in the 2004/2011 releases? It’s incredibly noticeable for A New Hope.
Also bear in mind that this remaster was made back in 2012. It was only given a fresh coat of paint (read: new HDR color grade) this year prior to release.
