I'd also like to hear some opinions about the two possible methods I outlined above. Which do people prefer: the 70mm with some things added to it, or the '97 SE mix de-crappified? Either one is a viable possibility for a potential hybrid version.

I'd love the 1997 mix synced to the GOUT, with bits that don't match what's on screen fixed. I even put a rudimentary version of this together by merely cobbling together a few sources.

I grew up with the '97 SE on VHS, so there are plenty of things from the sound mix that don't sound right when I watch the full-on OUT. The Falcon's computer sounds, and little bits like that.
