Needless to say, I am exhasperated and bummed. You may not (or perhaps may) believe how difficult it was, and for how many years I toiled, to convince people that I WAS THERE in '77, saw the movie a gazillion times, and KNEW for a FACT that the movie called "Star Wars" had neither an episode number or a subtitle.
It was not until Empire of Dreams came out that I was finally vindicated - even among many who think of themselves as die-hard Star Wars fans (my pals are the folks who line-up for the premiers on Hollywood Boulevard for weeks ... which I myself have been doing since ESB in 1980 - - though admittedly the Hollywood line-ups for the O.T. were on a much smaller scale and duration than the 6-week festivals for the prequels ... but they were still groundbreaking for their time - 24 hours for Empire and 7 days for Jedi ... ah, that seems so quaint now)
Anyways, as an old-school fan who's been chomping at the bit to see Star Wars restored to the way I (and the world) fell in love with it in 1977, the news that the upcoming DVD release has been falsely advertised is very sad. I found the evidence in this thread to be quite convincing that the crawl will most likely be a lame re-creation. In any event, I would be one of those who would recognize original '77 sound effects and such ... and so the 1993 audio mix would reek of false advertising to me anyways.
Bah!
