I have not dvelved as deep into the soundtracks as some of you have... my experience is based of the simple fact that I like really immersive soundtracks... maybe the 70mm mix is richer in sound and more enjoyable in some ways... I am not disputing that... infact I will have to listen to it more to form my final opinion on that. Be that as it may... like I said... since purchasing my home theater setup a year back or so... I really enjoy soundtracks which take advantage of the whole spectrum of my 5.1 setup. Things like sounds moving from the front channels to the back and vice versa... and just overalll wide sound imaging. I like that. But that doesn't mean I don't appreciate the 70mm mix or other perservations mixes... those are made by passionate people who really care about the original sound recordings. It's good to have both actually...

It's really simple... I just want to enjoy the Original Trilogy in the best way possible... and so far for me that is Harmy's awesome picture quality and a more aggressive surround soundtrack that has features from both the redone 2004 mix and the originals.

I haven't even listened to the Blu ray soundtracks... as I haven't bought those infernal things... but are they better than the DVD soundtracks in any way?
