hairy_hen: Thanks for the details on the soundtracks. :) I have a question. On the previous page you said:
"Not everyone wants to hear the movies with all of these changes, since some of them are in fan-edit territory, so by popular request the 'version 3' mixes were made, and will be used by d_j along with the SW 70mm on the upcoming dvd's. ***For the most part they are exactly the same, except the music edits for Fett and Obi-wan were removed and reverted to their 1993 forms.*** The 35mm inserts for the snowspeeder and for Vader's defeat are still present, as are the glitch repairs."
Why would those two things in the highlighted sentence above be considered "fan edits"? Isn't restoring the music in those two places (Boba Fett leaving Cloud City, and Obi-Wan on Dagobah) simply putting the music back the way it was in theaters before the 1997 SE? In which case it's not a fan edit, but rather a restoration of the unaltered theatrical version of the soundtrack.
Are the "version 2" 5.1 soundtracks identical to the "purist" versions of your 5.1 soundtracks in The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, except for those two specific changes (theatrical restorations) not being included in the "purist" 5.1 soundtracks? All other edits, fixes, surround sound bass, LFE bass and blending of the 5.1 channels is the same?
