I finally got to listen to some of these. :) I concentrated on ROTJ and some of my favorite pieces from the other two.

As with any other remastering process, I kinda thought 'how much different could it really be?' But then I listened to the part where Leia is giving instructions in Echo Base and WOW! It's like there's another musician in the left channel that had never been there before! The sound is much deeper and more defined than the SE sets, which were supposed to be the ultimate versions. Ha! Everything is crisp and bright, where the SE sounds a bit...well, not muffled, but sort of narrow, if that's a proper term. Like the sound field is more focused in the center. Or like there's a layer of suet smeared on the whole thing. Ok, I'm rambling. :p

ROTJ definitely sounds better, but it's a shame that the original recording quality is so much worse overall than the other two. I have no idea why, either. Do you?! You would think it would be the best, given that it was made later on. So many aspects of that film were sloppy. Still, ABC's version is definitely less hissy than the SE version, which was my biggest problem with it, so that's a plus.

I plan to give them a more thorough listen, of course, but these are just some quick thougts I have for now. Thanks again for such a great set!
