@ d_j:

I do prefer mine, of course, since I spent a lot of time getting it exactly the way I wanted it to sound (lol), but adywan definitely did a good job with it.  There are a couple places where the '04 surrounds don't quite match up with the '97 version (which is what he used for most of it), but really it's only a matter of splitting hairs--it never sounded bad, just different sometimes.  The main thing I don't like about the SE mixes is that the surround channels are always way too loud, but he must have corrected for that problem, because the only times they ever distracted me was when they added new sound effects.  Having discrete channels and stereo surrounds does sound nice, though mine are more 'authentic' with the mono rear effects how they would have been originally.

It's probably not a good idea to try to synch it with the GOUT, because it has already gone through lossy encoding twice, so that would end up with three stages of sound quality degradation. 

Thanks hairy_hen, you pretty much said exactly what I was thinking anyways, your tracks do sound AWESOME!

1 more thing, I never even watched Ady's ESB Theatrical, or anyone's recent projects, for 1, I do not have most of them, and 2, I have been to damn busy with this set.
