Regarding the Star Wars Blu-Ray release next year, Matthew told me that in 2004 he had to remix Episode IV for a 5.1 mix, and the whole thing had to be recreated from scratch from the original 1977 version of the movie. This will be the version that is the basis for the Blu-Ray by all accounts.

Well this could explain why ANH audio was so messed up yet ESB & ROTJ was ok. It looks like he only worked on a new mix for ANH. So we're going to get the same screwed up audio. So if thast's what we're going to get for the audio then you can bet your ass that all we're going to get for the blu-rays are the 2004 transfers and their messed up colours :(
