Wait wait wait… We’re a couple months away from 3.0? Or ESB 2.5?

We don’t do timeframes here…

I think it is a holdover from the days when nobody knew what the 70mm mix of ESB sounded like, but this idea that it was similar to the SE, or to the 16mm, or the 8mm, or to any other odd variant is incorrect. Examination of the in-theater 70mm recording by morgands1 shows clearly that the only version the 70mm mix resembles is, in fact, the 35mm.

The 70mm version was made first, with the 35mm being completed shortly thereafter to go along with the visual edits. They are both extremely similar throughout the movie and show only minor differences from each other: a few small sound effects changed, a few level differences, a few lines of different ADR at the very end, etc.

It doesn’t make sense to think that any of those major differences in other versions would have appeared in that first mix, been completely deleted from the second, and then somehow reappeared in subsequent versions. Just like the changes to the mono mix of the first movie, all that extra stuff was added much later. The 70mm and 35mm share a common 4-track source in their ancestry, and are therefore very similar in any part that wasn’t re-recorded for the 35.

So ah . . . how we doing on this?

Is it true that the 70mm mix didn’t have the “You’re lucky you didn’t taste very good?” line? Strange then that Lucas would have put it in then taken it back out again for the SE. But then again, we’re talking about George Lucas so I guess it’s not that strange.

No, R2 tastes bad in both 35mm and 70mm.

Like I said earlier, the 70 is virtually identical to the 35 for most of the movie. Aside from a few small changes in sound effects, the only place it differs is the very last scene, which was re-edited for the 35 and has changes to both music and ADR.

I agree with Frink - though I must say your guestimate is surprisingly accurate. 😃

So you’re saying that it’ll be done by tomorrow? I need to give it to my dad on his birthday this weekend.

For v2.5 of ESB, some v2.0 shots will remian, so there will probably be plenty of GOUT in there.

Does version 2.0 still use the '97 recomps for certain shots? If so, will 2.5 rectify this?

For the first question: yes, it certainly does as Luke is hanging from the bottom of Cloud City. Possibly other shots.
