Here’s an idea I had for an edit where communications between the X Wings and the rebel base are distorted and low quality, whereas communications between each of the X wings is much clearer. This is due to the rebel base being on the opposite side of the gas giant Yavin at the moment.
A proof of concept vid to show what I mean:

probably not a great idea but I thought I’d mention it
I mean, I like it, it balances the iconic sounds of chatter static with that fact that in every other film there is no such loss of communications, even across systems. That said it could be down to te empire jaming them? Idk it didn’t sound bad imo anyways.
Oh, yeah, that’s actually really great
Clever, and a good way to include a little of the mono mix, assuming that’s the source for the cleaner sound.
In the original film, as the X-Wings are approaching the Death Star, Red Leader states “we’re passing through the magnetic field”, which is when the audio distortion starts to happen.
Prior to them nearing the Death Star, there was no distortion in their ship-to-ship radio communication.
If you remove that distortion, it makes that part of the dialogue useless; will you be removing that dialogue in your edit?

Wouldn’t the second Death Star also have a magnetic field, then? And obviously this voice modulation effect doesn’t appear in ROTJ.

idk maybe that part wasn’t fully completed that time around?
I don’t really think it’s important to be this nit-picky.

The magnetic field, IMHO, is some kind of shielding (ray shielding? no one knows.). DSII’s only shield was projected from Endor.

Yea it is the source!
Another reason why I suggested the idea is because the audio distortion is inconsistent sometimes to the point where it’s distracting. It’s nothing too major though
