If only that elusive 70mm mix would turn up somewhere. Surely someone out there must have bootlegged a 70mm showing of the film back in the day, even just the audio? Hope springs eternal, I suppose. In a perfect world, LFL would trot out the 70mm mix as an alternate soundtrack on the OUT releases. Given that it won't be anamorphic, there should be room for it... but in a perfect world, it would be anamorphic too.

I've been listening to The Story Of Star Wars LP on headphones just now, and it's definitely got stereo effects on it. Much of the dialogue sounds pretty mono, though, while sound effects bounce around from ear to ear.

Also, I've noticed how difficult it is to notice the difference between Beru's "Luke... Luke!" line on the LP and the other version from the 35mm mix. Not as obviously different as her later lines, which aren't on the LP of course.
