Hmmm…I’ll have to compare myself when I get the chance. Keep in mind though that the laserdisc and print tracks could still be the same as laser just generally would go to a master source which when printed could be pushed or reduced across frequencies.
I also keep wondering if the WS LD mix is not a remix and perhaps the original Vistasonic track that was hastily abandoned in favor of a remix in Dolby just before the premiere. It’s still my favorite for some reason.
Of course as we all know there’s no way to tell with any Lucasfilm release in this time period. Unless you have hard evidence, practically anything can exist audio wise. I’m sure that all the alternate audio comes from a dedicated mono mix that they would’ve done for 16 mm and was sourced for some of the foreign tracks because they even kept doing this practice on Empire and later Jedi .
Ask anyone at LFL about hear issues and you’d probably get a very confused and unknowledgeable reply.
The BD remix of ROTLA is shamefully bad in many places. It’s no wonder the 35mm run of the “restored” version used the DVD audio.
