Well, basically I'm redoing pretty much all the edits for the sake of improving the sound quality and making it blend together more seamlessly, but the improvements will be subtle and probably only noticeable to people like me who have spent a lot of time listening to these things really closely.  Most of the track is going to sound exactly the same as it did before, and the rest will still be really close.

Earlier msycamore pointed out a remnant of an added sound effect that could still be heard, which I have already fixed, and there are a couple other little things I plan on addressing, such as improving the LFE a bit more.  There's some distortion in the opening Star Destroyer flyby that I noticed recently, which I think I introduced into the track accidentally, and that is going to be eliminated.

I've also given a bit of thought to making an alternate version that leaves in some of the less intrusive '93 additions and adds some elements of the mono mix, for people who miss those refinements, but this is only an idea and I'm not at all sure whether it's actually going to happen.
