It is the 70mm cut of the film that was rushed out for the premiere, several effect shots where missing and unfinished, and it had a slightly different editing as well as soundmix with different dialogue in some places.
I don't know if it's true or not, I've not seen the 70mm cut myself but I have also heard that the SE used the 6-track stereo mix as the source for the remix in -97. Can someone who remember, confirm this?
I don't understand what you mean by "if the quality of the film mix is the same on the 70mm?" I presume it was just edited differently to the 70mm version of the film. I actually like the absence of music in the "Departure of Boba Fett" scene in the film. Unfortunately, the 70mm cut has never been made available, but it would be fantastic if a bootleg of it would show up some day as I doubt it will be released officially by Lucasfilm.
I've heard some alternate sound clips that were used in the 70mm cut of the film such as the "You're lucky you don't taste very good" line, but I'm sure it captured from a source other than the 70mm cut.
As far as the quality goes for the 70mm... what I was asking was if the same soundtrack masters were used for both the 70mm cut of the film and 35mm cut of the film? Why was the 35mm version edited differently than the 70mm version? The only reason I don't like the "Departure of Boba Fett" scene in the 35mm cut is because the music cue was hacked up and it ended abruptly. That always bothered me, but it is nice to watch the scene without music, at least the latter part of it.
I'm sure that there is a 70mm cut of the film out there somewhere, but I've heard that the 35mm version is the one that was most theaters played so there may not be many in existence except at Lucasfilm. I can't confirm that, though.
