I'm again considering doing that. That's actually what brought me here in the first place, about nine months before I joined the forums. I almost got a set from Rikter, but then I backed out at the last second without following up for reasons I can't explain myself. I have no idea. Sorry about that, Rikter. But then again, I might just wait for the X0 project.

No, because the first two are in ANH and the last one in TESB!

However, the original mono mix for ANH had both C-3PO's "tractor beam" line and the "close the blast doors" line.

Heh. Wow, my mind sure checked out there.

Anyways, is the original mono mix for Star Wars considered the best audio track?

Back in the day, George said that it was the definitive track. It wasn't the original track. It was the last of the theatrical 3, I guess we can call them. So it had been tweaked a lot past its previous incarnations. I've listened to some clips, and a lot of it sounds very difference since it's not what I was raised on. Beru's voice is different, as is the Death Star time to firing range voice. As definitive as it was supposed to be, though, I guess George was afraid to release non-stereo mixes to the consumer market in the modern age since, aside from the lines you mentioned, most of the mono-specific stuff hasn't been reused since, as far as I know.
