The effects on the 1997 mix were astounding in theaters you actually felt a rumble during the death star trench run, or during the initial star destroyer fly over.  Not sure if this was DSS sound or DOLBY Digital stereo.

I saw the SE in DSS.  TESB and ROTJ were overall pretty impressive, but Star Wars was terrible.  The soundfield was too loud, and a couple surrounds actually were blown in a showing after the one I attended.  The added "Dirty Harry .44 Magnum" sound to the blasters in the Death Star chasm were completely unnecessary, among other things.
