I am slightly concerned about the new mix. I am really not the biggest fan of the obviously way cleaner ADR dialogue audio clashing with the rough, on-set sounding dialogue all in the same movie, and Ali sounds like they’re doing that again. (Something previously done to the audio in the the Special Edition, if I’m not mistaken). I guess it kind of sounds like they are making the ADR sound a bit more subtle at times? More rough around the edges to maintain consistency, a bit? However, for example, Leia’s shouting in that comparison clip does sound too clean to me… so I dunno.

First bit of info from all this that has me checking my expectations, which is a good thing. This won’t be perfect. Still looks mostly all great and I’m sure ESB and ROTJ will be fine, this is mainly an issue I have with the original.

I guess the cleanest possible audio is to be expected with the cleanest possible picture, inconsistencies and all. So I’ll just have to accept it…
