I hope that you have more luck than I had when I tried starting a similar discussion.

Star Wars

(1) 1977 35mm two-track Dolby Stereo (as available up to 1985 CAV LaserDisc - captured)
(2) 1977 70mm Six-Track Dolby Stereo (never available but re-created by the EditDroid team)
(3) 1977 35mm mono. (available from UK ITV VHS tape or 1977 bootleg tape - captured)
(4) 1985 two-track Dolby Stereo (as available on 1987 Special Collection and 1992 Pan/Scan LaserDisc - captured)
(5) 1993 two-track Dolby Stereo (as available on Definitive Collection onwards - captured)


The fly in the ointment is the 1987/88/89 UK VHS Fullscreen tapes that you would expect to have the 1985 digitally remastered mix with the tractor beam line from the mono mix added. That line is missing so I am unsure what the mix on these releases is.

I cannot comment further at the moment and have no knowledge of the French audio.
