Well, it was only the ANH DVD that had the audio mistakes. The ESB amd ROTJ DVDs had excellent audio quality.

But, the reversing of channels on ANH, I am certain was no mistake. That was something they did to improve the overall sound of things like Vader's voice, which sounded very echoed in all other versions of ANH. That is one improvement, IMHO, as it is one of the few things that makes the audio clearer than before. And I just reallized that Luke's line of "You mean it controls your actions" was sourced from the regular on-set audio, where you could hear the lightsaber rod spinning. Apparently, in the DVDs, someone put in the wrong audio recording there.

I seriously hope that he or someone else notices these audio problems before they do his archival editions of the films. If he could just get everything exactly how he wants, and every one of these little problems fixed, I... would be EXTREMELY happy.
