Don't you can use the Soundboard on the official Star Wars homepage for some parts of the dialogue, original CDs or Vinyls for music and some other source for sound-effects and combine it with original LD-sound, to recreate the movie-sound on your own?
What would be the benefit of doing that?
Creating an audio-file with more than two channels, to recreate some version of an original cinema sound, which don't exist anymore?
Star Wars premiered in 1977 with a mono soundtrack (35mm), a 4-channel (matrix-encoded) Dolby Stereo soundtrack (35mm), and a 6-channel Dolby "baby boom" soundtrack (70mm).
So which one do you consider to be "original"?
Than all 4 are some kind of originals. Can't we recreate all 4 with my suggestion?
First, there are 3 original mixes. Second, what you're suggesting is unnecessary given the current state of SW sound preservations. To start, the Mono was preserved from VHS European recordings and the Stereo mix was taken from Laserdisc in both analog and digital formats. Those two exist in their original forms. The 70mm surround-sound mix has been recreated by OT member Hairy Hen using the 93 dolby mix PCM from laserdisc, de-matrixizing it into 4 discreet channels, adding an LF channel, and fixing the changes done to the mix for the 93 home video re-release by splicing in other sources.
