Apologies in advance to Zion, MeBeJedi et al...

When shown in theatres in 1977 SW did not have surround sound equal to 5.1, it wouldn't even be equal to decent 4.1 tracks ???Originally posted by: boris
- and that's the 6-channel soundmix, the other two - well one was mono and the other was simply stereo.

My feeling is if you expect to get a full 5.1 mix out of star wars, you should buy the special edition dvd, a 5.1 mix is one of the things they changed and prepared for the special edition.
My feeling is you should not buy the Special Edition DVD under any circumstances (except as a way to get the OUT discs between Sept & Dec 2006).

blitter, welcome; there are several decent audio threads under this topic if you're interested.

Zion, have you considered the '85 mix, which is also available in PCM, IIRC?
