I think the tractor beam line is well done for how quickly it was added and is absolutely essential so that the scene doesn’t feel empty. Without it everyone stares at a monitor, and after an uncomfortable pause Obi-wan magically knows how to disable the tractor beam.

Going back and forth between the 77 stereo and 85 mix shows the range difference. The remix loses the high end detailing and slight bit of what is almost like tape hiss in favor of a more robust smaller range because home systems of the day couldn’t reproduce much further. It sounds slightly boxes in when going back and forth but not bad at all.
