3) The communications to Tarkin via comlink are completely different.
4) When Threepio and Artoo are hiding from the Imperials on Tatooine, the stormtroopers dubbed voice is different, and so is the line:
Laserdisc:
"All right, check this side of the street. The doors locked. Move on to the next one."
Pre-ANH video:
"All right, check that side of the street. It's secure. Move on to the next one."
5) A different actress dubs for Aunt Beru. Neither version features the real voice of actress Shelagh Fraser, who has a thick British accent.
6) Some Threepio dialogue uses different takes. The additional lines ("The tractor beam is coupled to the main reactor in seven locations. A power loss at one of the terminals will allow the ship to leave....") are missing from the laserdisc version.
7) The echo in the core shaft ("I think we took a wrong turn...") is present in both versions. However, the echo is more pronounced in the laserdisc version--probably because the video is missing the surround channels.
8) The laserdisc is missing the now-famous "Close the blast doors!" line.
9) Intership voices during the final battle are not synthesized.
10) During the final battle, "countdown" voices on the Death Star and at the Massassi base on Yavin IV are completely different.
11) Luke's line on the laserdisc, "Blast it, Biggs. Where are you?" is different on the pre-ANH video: "Blast it, Wedge. Where are you?" (from the collection of Peter Poulakakos).

So can I infer from this that Magnoliafan has a good copy of this audio mix? If you've read my other post you will see that I managed to get hold of this soundtrack, but quality unfortunately is lacking. What was his source, i.e. the 1986 home video release, or something else? Any update on progress with this restoration? The KNOWN *Audio differences:

(Sorry for all the questions! Just one more - what does 'O.G.' stand for?)
