I’m aware of a 1985 remix of Star Wars, were there also remixes of ESB and ROTJ in 1985?

Info Wanted: Were ESB & ROTJ remixed in 1985?

The 1985 mixes were DIGITAL Sound re-mixes. ROTJ was one of the first films released with DIGITAL Sound at the theatre. Therefore, I do not believe there to be a 1985 DIGITAL Sound re-mix as it was DIGITAL Sound in the first place
Check out this very old thread where I asked a similar question.............

Slightly off topic, but RotJ was not released with digital sound. The first feature film on record to be released with digital sound was Dick Tracy (Cinema Digital Sound – 1990).
RotJ did mark the showcase debut of the first commercial THX Theater System presentations, but the release format was standard Dolby 42 (6-track mag - Baby Boom –Dolby A).

Although I’ve never seen this documented in any film sound history timeline, I always recall an ad that ran for many weeks in the New York Times in the mid eighties for a film presentation featuring digital sound….I finally found this from Boston Light and Sound regarding the engagement:
“HOME OF THE BRAVE” A film by Laurie Anderson (April 1986)
Digital sound presentation at the 57th Street Playhouse, New York City. To our knowledge, this is the first public presentation of a feature in digital sound. System included S.M.P.T.E. time code on 35mm composite magnetic film controlling VHS tape. Playback via 4-channel quad-amped system.

I haven't heard of any differences btwn the digital and analog ESB soundtracks available on LD before 1993, but I've only really looked at the pre-1993 version that I have compared with the DE. I'm not sure whether it's sourced from the digital or analog disc.
