Like is  said in my facebook group which you hijacked (funnily enough most of the stuff you wrote here you just copied and pasted from there) it wouldn't matter one bit if they used DTS or DOLBY for the blu-ray releases because its probably going to be the special editions anyway and DTS was sued for their releases. Plus they won't even be the same mixes as the theatrical se versions anyway so whichever company they use for the audio doesn't really matter. As has been said, there isn't that much difference between DolbyHD & DTSHD-MA anyway due to less compression on the Dolby tracks compared to their DVD counterparts.

You accused me of being a DTS lover (which you still have in your first post which you copied and pasted from the ESB:R facebook group) because i defended the quality of some DTS tracks compared to Dolby digital on DVD. Nowhere did i say i'm a DTS lover. In fact i did say that sometimes dolby tracks have better mixes and other have better DTS mixes. I don't care what company is used as long as it is a good mix. most DTS DVD tracks i have listened to have a better dynamic range and clarity over the Dolby mix but they would never be a fair comparison unless it is guaranteed that the same master audio was used for the releases. Many times the dolby & DTS tracks have slightly different mixes.

The dolby digital track on the SE laserdiscs wins hands down over the abomination of the dolby DVD mixes.

There is good and bad from both camps but you seem to think that we should blindly agree with you that Dolby is better. Sorry but that is just an opinion and i have my own. I guess you'll just accuse me of being a DTS lover again but i personally don't care.

What i would want from the Blu-Ray release is the original theatrical versions with their original theatrical mixes, although Empire may be a little tricky because a few shots were added to the 35mm version and maybe a new 5.1 mix and it wouldn't matter which house does the audio, whether it be Dolby or DTS, as long as it was the best possible representation of the audio. But like it has been said it really doesn't matter now with Blu-Ray.

Lucasfilm seems to have stuck with Dolby as they never released Star Wars with the SE DTS mix and even their Indy4 Blu-Ray had Dolby HD so why do you think that they are going to go with DTS? There have been no rumours about the audio mix changing to DTS so why get so wound up about it?

There would have to be a special features disc with good content like deleted scenes for each movie of the OT, not just one bonus disc for all three while the PT get a bonus disc each, and the theatrical versions restored for me to fork out the price for the set.
