Number20, it is interesting to me that many fans enjoy re-constructions of the soundtrack elements of these films. I didn’t know of the sound differences sighted in the original film until I viewed the Deleted Magic. I really did enjoy the de-construction of ANH in that film. I am looking forward to the NTSC version of Jambe’s Building the Empire & will check that out as soon as that is ready.



Lucasfilm put in many differences between the Mono and 35mm/70mm sound mixes, and then the 70mm mix of ESB was different from the 35mm mix. The '04 DVDs were closer to the 70mm mix, and the previous VHS releases were based on the older 35mm mix, so when people heard the differences, they complained about more changes that weren't actually changes. I think that ROTJ is the only OOT film that didn't have changes in the theatrical mixes. Personally, my dream release of SW would have the 35mm theatrical audio mix, mono mix, and 1993 remix, and for ESB-35mm theatrical, 70mm theatrical, and 1993 remix. Maybe someday...

One problem with scripts online is that it is sorta hard to tell sometimes what draft the script really is. I know that one of the scripts from ROTJ floating around the internet is labeled as being an earlier draft than it actually could be.
