A 'labour of love' is meaningless if it's made by a tone-deaf buffoon.  :p

At least now I have a name at which to direct my wrath.  He's probably exactly like those idiots in the music industry who 'remaster' old recordings by applying excessive noise reduction and adding all kinds of crap processing to distort the sound beyond recognition.  Cuz that's pretty much what the 2004 mix sounds like . . . and since the new one is being done by the same guy, it will probably be similarly awful.

And that blurb is wrong anyway--while ANH was remixed from scratch for the dvd, ESB and RotJ have only specific changes to sound effects and dialogue here and there.  The remainder of those mixes sound exactly the same as they did in 1997, which is why they fare so much better for the most part.
