(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)
(4) 1985 two-track Dolby Stereo (as available on 1992 Pan/Scan LaserDisc)
(5) 1993 two-track Dolby Stereo (as available on Definitive Collection onwards)
(6) 1997 Special Edition (as available on SE LaserDisc)
(7) 2004 Special Special Edition (as available on 2004 DVD)

Some corrections....

(1) 1977 35mm two-track Dolby Stereo (CAV analog pan and scan LD is the only way to get this without time compression. All early video releases used this track)
(2) 1977 70mm Six-Track Dolby Stereo (the 1993 is believed to have been sourced primarily from this. The EditDroid disc used Ben Burtt's 1985 re-mix, believing it to be the original mix)
(4) 1985 two-track Dolby Stereo (Released first on VHS and later on LD. In the US this was on the 1989 widescreen LD and the digital pan and scan time compressed LD from 1992)
(7) 2004 Special Special Edition (There is nothing special or even "Special Special" about this waste of time)
