You guys might be interested in the fact, that the German dub on my 1995 THX Laserdisc was apparently made using the original mono track, since ALL sound effects and ALL dialogue matches the mono sound examples i heard on the page.

I also noticed that in the trash compactor sequence, the complete music background was removed on the 2004 SE from the point on where they hear the roar until the point Luke is released by the monster. It is also present on the German dub. Some other guy told me that the 1993 definite edition LAserdiscs also don´t have this background music.

All German releases excluding the 2004 editions seem to match the original mono mix. That´s why i was really puzzled, when i heard the english audio on the 2004 SE that some sound effects were radically different.


I don't remember music EVER appearing in this scene ...


It is there on my laserdisc and was there on my 1990 taping of Star Wars on German television. No-one to this day was able to give me the answer from what mix this music comes from, since it isn´t present on the 70mm version.
