I was curious if the 1992 LD trilogy has been transferred in its entirety, and compared with the '93 Definitive Collection? From what I understand, the 1985 audio mix included on the '92 LD release has been used (“cherrypicked”?) for other DVD transfers, not sure exactly which ones. I realize that a new audio mix was created for the '93 version (not sure why if the previous one seems more “definitive”), but are there major differences in video quality at all? And was the '85 audio wholly different enough that it should be included as an alternate audio track on newer transfers, or was there just mostly the bits of dialogue that were absent from the '93 release? Or was it not substantially different or better than previous mixes to matter much? The countless variations of the SW films, esp. ANH, continue to fascinate-- and I haven’t found any discussion addressing this particular issue.
