For me it’s a big deal it’s a vintage iconic Dolby film mix and Fox knows this and Lucasfilm Skywalker sound, knows this to be true, they obviously don’t give a hoot they’d sooner grab the money from the sales. To each of our own, in ways STAR WARS visual images is religious to some and others it would be sound mix.

I understand what you mean about the vintage mixes, and quite a few people around here might agree with you about small differences in the audio mix being as important to them as small changes in the video. For me, unless Luke says "Blast it, Biggs" rather than "Blast it, Wedge" in ANH it is not quite the same. Stupid, but true!

With the surround sound, I do not think you would notice that much of a difference if it were encoded to Dolby Digital or DTS, as long as the mix that was being encoded was the same. By the way, is it confirmed that the Star Wars Blu-rays will be 5.1 not 7.1?

Regarding Raise the Titanic, it does seem hard to find Dolby Digital 5.1. There is a German Dolby Digital 5.1 track, but only English 2.0 on most releases. If I can find a 5.1 mix, I shall let you know.

…and vice versa as well with English 5.1 and German 2.0 on some titles. Raiders as a lower end on the German 2.0 over the Dolby English 5.1 mix.

Who knows I might calm the f%*k down by then but that means I’m weak minded and giving into the dark side LOL. Got be strong and I need to keep saying this again and again with fierce conviction, I’m not buying STAR WARS on bluray,

I’d sooner wait for an English Dolby 5.1 mix of “Raise the Titanic” to come out, as I don’t have it, in my DVD collection. I have enough STAR WARS films on disc to sink the Titanic many times over, if you get my meaning.
