(If you want a good list of the differences the 70mm had from the 35mm you can look at the Wookieepedia Star Wars wikia article on List of changes in Star Wars re-releases, in the Changes to the Original Trilogy section. http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/List_of_changes_in_Star_Wars_re-releases )

(Is it just me, or does anyone else think that Wookieepedia is just a playground for TFN fanboys and EU nerds?)

Although it doesn't cite sources, I'm willing to bet that part of the article was copied/pasted from posts on this forum. The visual differences were posted by Neil S Bulk, sourced from a list compiled by Michael Matessino in Film Score Monthly. The audio differences are derived from the assumption that the 1997 SE audio is based on the 70mm mix.

The Starkiller later noticed from Puggo's telecine that the 8mm reels appeared to be from the same master as the 70mm version.
