(continued from Rikter’s post above)…

  1. Some Threepio dialogue uses different takes. The additional lines (“The tractor beam is coupled to the main reactor in seven locations. A power loss at one of the terminals will allow the ship to leave…”) are missing from the laserdisc version.

  2. The echo in the core shaft (“I think we took a wrong turn…”) is present in both versions. However, the echo is more pronounced in the laserdisc version–probably because the video is missing the surround channels.

  3. The laserdisc is missing the now-famous “Close the blast doors!” line.

  4. Intership voices during the final battle are not synthesized.

  5. During the final battle, “countdown” voices on the Death Star and at the Massassi base on Yavin IV are completely different.

  6. Luke’s line on the laserdisc, “Blast it, Biggs. Where are you?” is different on the pre-ANH video: “Blast it, Wedge. Where are you?” (from the collection of Peter Poulakakos).

Rik - Cheers for the preANH info too, mate.
