Mono would be a silly waste of valuable disc real estate that could be better employed for the video. You want Star Wars in mono, get a copy on VHS.

I don't think the mono mix is silly. Don't think it's available on VHS either.

 

the mono mix came about due to cheapskate theatre owners who wouldn't upgrade to stereo. There's no historical value to that whatsoever. And well, even if the VHS isn't natively mono, cheaper VCR's are so your problem is solved.
