The '92 reissue of 1130-84 would have been the 1985 remix in digital, with the tractor beam line...right?

I don't know about the 1992 version. I've never heard of a digital CAV version of the Pan & Scan LD.

Both the '85 CAV standard play LD editions of Star Wars and Empire were reissued in '92, not to be confused with the CLV editions released that same year. So maybe you own the reissue schorman? or maybe Belbucus did. I don't know, I don't own any of them. They are supposed to be identical on the jackets as I understand it, so you need to check mint marks etc. I know Empire were treated with an additional digital track on the '92 repressing but I'm not sure about Star Wars.

As I understand it, the original pressing of Star Wars was done by Pioneer USA and the repressing was done by Pioneer Japan. The original pressing of Empire were pressed by Pioneer USA and the reissue by Mitsubishi.

EDIT: I will also add that the running time on the jacket are supposed to be incorrect on both pressings of these editions, some might be confused by that thinking they have the time-compressed versions.
