I know we have many examples of faulty SW memory syndrome... Luke missing the first time with the grappler hook, for example (of which I am one of the many victims).

But I have an example from the 1997 SE that has been nagging at the back of my mind for several years, and I've finally built up the courage to ask here....

When the SE of Star Wars came out in the theater in 1997, I saw it on opening night. Somehow, I remember being surprised that the line "close the blast doors" was said by a calm woman's voice, as if it were an automated voice coming over an intercom. I also remember thinking that they must have added it that way, rather than restoring it from an original 1977 source.

I am now beginning to think that this is yet another example of faulty SW memory syndrome, because I haven't been able to find any example of the SE with anything other than the original voice that matches the original mono mix.

So, am I to presume that I am so afflicted yet again?

i forget which version, but on one of them either "close the blast doors" or "open the blast doors" sounded somehow different (definitely not like a woman's voice though). Not sure if it is because they had some read it again or just the way they placed it or cleaned it up or something.
