So, this video you are releasing will be the new 2.5 restored Blu-ray version of Star Wars from Harmy
Yes, but it includes German title cards, the recreated German theatrical crawl, German Greedo subs (recreated to look like in the german theatrical version), the German end credits (recreated based on the VHS end credits) and German Despecialization credits.

combined with a German 2 channel stereo Laserdisk soundtrack or is it the 2006 GOUT PAL DVD German 2 channel stereo soundtrack you are using?
I'm using a total of four different German audio tracks:
- the German 2006 GOUT PAL audio track (stereo), fixed to contain missing lines, sound effects and music cues.
- the German 1993 SilverScreen Laserdisc audio track (stereo)
- the German 1995 THX Laserdisc audio track (stereo)
- the German 2011 Blu-ray audio track, edited to fit the Despecialization, removing as many SE additions as possible (sadly not all of them). This track comes in DTS-HD Master Audio.

Since the 18 Gig video will be playable on Blu-ray set top hardware players, I assume the video is not in PAL format, but standard HD
The MKV is, just like Harmy's release, at 720p HD resolution.

the Blu-ray disk will play on U.S. Blu-ray machines?
Since I'm not using any region code on the disc, it can be played on all Blu-ray players (as long as they play burned BD-Rs).

Also, has the German soundtrack been slowed down from PAL to it's normal theatrical speed (which is the same as NTSC soundtrack speed) to match the non-PAL HD video Harmy has made?
Yes.
