Yes, the Tarkin dialogue original tapes must be the reason it sounds weird in the mix. Thats OK with me, nothing they can really do about it when making a new mix from original audio sources. Thats fine, no glitch really, just unfortunate. But I know someone in the past said the rear channels in ANH are reversed from what they should be. I myself don't have a 5.1 to listen to it on but if it is true, that cannot possibly be a creative decision. It is a bonafide glitch. No amount of explaining can justify it. They should have done a recall or something. The quality control just wasn't their. They shouldn't ave rushed to DVD one of the greatest films (the whole trilogy really) to DVD just for holiday. Unacceptable. If (when) it is released on HD-DVD/Blu-ray/whatever these things must be fixed or shit is going down.....here mostly, but still.
