Why are you removing the tractor beam line? It is from the 1977 mono track which at the time was considered the definitive sound for the film (as in the soundtrack that Ben Burt spent the most time on and the one it won the Oscar for). While it was missing in the stereo soundtrack up into the 90's, it is not a later revision but one of the many attempts to make the stereo/surround soundtrack match the mono soundtrack. They still have never gotten Beru's voice correct. My ideal would be a full 5.1 sountrack the perfectly matches the mono soundtrack (minus the SE additions, the BD comes the closest - again, except for Beru). Thanks to some of the versions of Star Wars created by members of this group, my favorite way to watch it is the GOUT with the mono soundtrack - the way 90% of us who saw it in '77 experienced it.
