So if I’m understanding it correctly, this is how the 1986 JSC of SW:ANH differs from the 1977 Theatrical version with the exception of the 1981 title crawl

  • When the MF is being chased after leaving Tatooine, the SFX shot of the Star Destroyer shooting at the MF was changed. The early version had different explosions with different flashes and looks less finished.

  • When the MF arrives on Yavin IV, the composite shot with the matte painting of the temple is recomposited and is not in sync. There’s also an artifact in the image.

  • In the shot of the X wings and Y wings taking off from outside the temple, there’s an extra cloud and the shot is not in sync. There’s also an artifact in the image.

  • The ending credits were completely redone with the spacing both vertically and horizontally altered with a glitch in the composition at the beginning being removed.

  • The 1985 audio mix.

So the pre-1985 home media releases and the GOUT DVD contain the 35MM Stereo mix.
