As far as audio options I'm all about old school mixes i.e. theatrical stereo and mono. Let's face it they didn't have Lossless True HD 7.1 surround sound back then.

True, but they did have high quality 4.1 mixes on the 70mm prints, which were the direct precursor to the 5.1 format used today.  The surrounds were monaural, but there was significant bass and the dynamic range was hugely increased over the stereo and mono versions.

There is no available transfer of the real 70mm mix, but the default track on the dark_jedi version is a close approximation of it.  (Yes, it says 5.1, but the surround effects are still mono, so they just play out of both rear channels equally.)  That 'oldschool Star Wars' sound is present throughout, I promise.  ;)
