Wait a minute. Aside from changes like new new emperor and boba fett in ESB and the naboo scene in ROTJ, weren't the sound mixes for those films almost identical to their 97se counterparts? I know that ANH had a very different (and inferior) sound mix in the 2004 dvd, but do the ESB and ROTJ sound mixes have the same issues?
If not, can't you take the good parts of the 2011 mixes and the 97 dts mixes and...mix them together (pun unavoidable but unintentional)
Honestly i'm not familiar with all the differences in audio between the different releases and whether the cinema DTS audio of ESB and ROTJ is similar to the blu-ray DTS-HD 6.1 audio of ESB and ROTJ. hairy_hen would be the one to ask about that.
What i've found in the past though is that different mixes with different amounts of channels can be pretty difficult to mix seamlessly, especially modern DTS-HD 6.1 audio tracks that have had their special effects audio boosted to the detriment of the music like these blu-ray Star Wars OT tracks have from what i've heard.
For the sake of continuety if I use the cinema DTS for Star Wars, I really want to use the cinema DTS for ESB and ROTJ. If i'm not able to get all three of these, I'll most likely have to look into using the blu-ray DTS-HD 6.1 audio for the three films. Certainly thats exactly what a lot of people on tehparadox have been asking me to do, to get that extra punch on their surround sound systems.
