Han: "Now's our chance, go!" That does jive with what the burn-in in my brain tells me.

Also, I hear people speak of the LP audio as if it's mono (or from the mono mix). It is not. It is most definitely in stereo. Dialogue and sound effects take advantage of the stereo field. Listen to Han scream as he's chasing after the stormtroopers in the Death Star or Vader coming through the door on the Tantive before he confronts Leia. Just a couple of vivid examples.
Hmmm... I think you may be right. In fact, Aunt Beru's voice on the LP doesn't match the alternate voice on the mono mix version, either. But the LP does contain the full "Open the blast doors!/Close the blast doors!" line and Threepio's "a power loss at one of the terminals will allow the ship to leave" line as well. I'm going to take a wild stab and say the LP is actually based on the... 70mm mix?! Someone correct me if they think otherwise.

This audio is seared in my brain now as I've been working on my "Story Of" project for almost 6 months. Which, by the way, is almost complete.


Great news for me, and a number of others, I'm sure!
