Apologies for bumping such an old thread, but I figured this is as good a place as any to put out this request.

I'm looking for the PCM stereo audio from the following laserdiscs:

The Empire Strikes Back
- 1985 Pan and Scan CAV, CX Stereo, 3 discs, Standard Play (1980 theatrical stereo mix?)
- 1989 Widescreen CLV, CX Stereo, 2 discs, Extended Play (1985 stereo remix?)

Return of the Jedi
- 1986 Pan and Scan CLV, CX Stereo, 2 disc, Extended Play (I'd assume this is either the 1983 theatrical stereo, or the 1985 remix if ROTJ was, in fact, ever remixed in 1985)

Basically I'm looking for all the different audio mixes I can find.  I have:

Star Wars
- 1977 Theatrical Mono
- 1977 Theatrical Stereo
- 1985 Stereo Remix
- 1993 Stereo Remix (GOUT rip)

The Empire Strikes Back
- 1993 Stereo Remix (GOUT rip)

Return of the Jedi
- 1993 Stereo Remix (GOUT rip)

I know Empire had 1980, 1985, and 1993 mixes, but I haven't been able to find any but the 1993 mix.  I also don't know what the differences are between the 1980 and 1985 mixes.

I have no idea if Jedi was ever re-mixed - if it was, my assumption would be that it was re-mixed in 1993, but not 1985, which would mean there's a 1983 theatrical mix and a 1993 stereo remix.  However, it's also possible it was never remixed and the 1993 stereo remix is actually identical to the 1983 stereo mix.

Basically, I'm trying to make a custom DVD set with as many of the original sound mixes as I possibly can, and I'm not all that knowledgeable about the mixes for ESB and ROTJ.  If anyone can help me out, that would be fantastic - just shoot me a PM.  Thanks in advance!
