Thanks schorman again for an awesome body of work. I know there is discussions of a “Version 2 recreation" for Empire and Jedi over on h_h’s 70mm thread. I haven’t seen any new information there for a while (maybe people are waiting to see what happens with speculations of 2015 retail releases?).

Anyway, I’m wondering if there would be interest in a lossless version of Empire/Jedi continuing on h_h’s ideas (i.e. using improved surround decoder as per SW’77 70mm recreation "2nd/new version").

Are the ’93 LD sources still considered a good starting point -- for Empire and Jedi I mean? For the LFE channel, I would probably use the 97SE 5.1 (LD’s?). Would there be a worthwhile benefit to using 2011 BD to source an (essentially 97SE) lossless LFE track?

If I missed anything or if anyone knows that h_h is still working on new version of Empire/Jedi please let me know, I'll just wait.
