ROTJ (DTS Cinema)

R1T5 - 17:33

Okay, since these are the times of each reel of audio, and the film uses time code to sync the two together, would these times be accurate in regards to the 35mm films?  Aside from the additional bits that can be removed from this audio due it's being there just for change over of course.

I'm not sure that I properly understand your question. If you mean the the 35mm reel would be the same length then we cannot be certain until someone examines a 35mm print with the time code on. If I had the money I'd try to buy one and check it out, but I don't so its academic at this point.

I've just checked the numbers for ESB and I'm showing each reel to be shorter than the times you have posted (unprocessed), all are SMTPE Film Sync 24fps time code (mm:ss:ff):

R1T5 = 21:38:03
R2T5 = 20:12:01
R3T5 = 21:55:01
R4T5 = 21:54:23
R5T5 = 20:04:23
R6T5 =  22:14:03
