Info & Help: looking for... The original Latin American Spanish dubbings

Good evening all. I’m a Star Wars from Mexico. As we all know, preservation of the original Star Wars films in their unaltered edits has become has become a hot topic these years. At the same time, in Latin America, the original spanish dubs that were in theaters (and seen several times on TV before the SE) have become somewhat of a holy grail for us fans from Mexico.

The 2004 DVDs featured new dubs as the originals could not match with the altered scenes/dialogue. These dubbings aren’t bad at all (as they’re done by the Jesus Barrero studio), but it’s a shame the ones I grew up with have long been replaced by it. The GOUT DVDs themeselves apparently carry the European spanish dubbings too, whereas the R4 versions of that release are only in english.

So, does anyone know of a source (TV, VHS, etc) that can be used to preserve these rarities? It would be a shame if they were lost in time as it has happened to so many goodies of the franchise.

Here are samples of those dubbings:

If one were looking for a high quality source, perhaps Laserdisk? Was the Mexican dub used for all of Latin America?

I'm just a gringo, but from what I've read, I believe that the Mexican dub (actually done in Los Angeles) was indeed used for all of Latin America.

As for high-quality sources: You'd think that the Latin American Spanish dubs would have been released on video...but you'd be wrong. From what I can gather, all of the pre-SE Latin American video releases were in English with Spanish subtitles. Why, I have no idea.

Maybe reaching out in other SW forums (example: http://www.starwarsspanishstuff.info/), otherwise resellers like ebay seem to be the only option.

Here's some pics from a forthcoming TWC073: (not certain if it's a Rental or the 80s Alquiler : La Guerra de las Galaxias)

Subtitles:

(picts of the rest of the subs are in the folder)

This Spanish Print audio does not match the audio from the above mentioned TWC073 80s VHS 'La Guerra de las Galaxias'.  There is the identified Mono mix difference in the sirens, but the dialog is different.

Project Threepio v4 has:

14
00:02:47,834 --> 00:02:49,634
¿Has oído eso?

15
00:02:49,900 --> 00:02:53,101
Han alcanzado al reactor principal.
Nos van a destruir seguro.

16
00:02:53,201 --> 00:02:55,001
¡Qué locura!

Spanish Print Mono sounds like:

¿Has oído eso?

Destruir reactor principal.

Sindolta sero mastofin  (¿sounds like? the words are not being translated by online translators, and I don't know any spanish And I don't know any spanish.)

¡Esto es una locura!

TWC073 80s VHS 'La Guerra de las Galaxias' sounds like:

¿Has oído eso?

Han alcanzado al reactor principal.

Nos van a destruir.

¡Esto es una locura!

Do we have an answer for if the Spanish (country) is different then the Latin American Spanish versions?  and these three don't match an 80s VHS Catalan audio.  (this Catalan sounds like they got a woman for 3po)

The TWC073 80s VHS is the European Spanish / Castillian dub version (this is the one I heard when I was little) but the Spanish Mono Print appears to be the missing Latin American Original dub (it is in a Latin American accent, probably from Mexico?).

What 3PO actually says is:

¿Oiste eso?

Destruyeron el reactor principàl.

¡Sin duda sera nuestro fin!

¡Esto es una locura!

I've studied a bit of spanish at uni, I don't actually speak it, but mostly I have a good ear for these kinda things.

¡Perfecto! Es exactamente ese diálogo.

Great!!
