Well, at one point in time about 7 years ago I had a highly anticipated edit of return of the Jedi set to come out that fizzled out when I stayed over after being nearly complete to do it in HD, and I plan on finally finishing that as well this year. I’ve been putting together my ideal versions of ANH and ESB as a warm up to get me geared for the first real editing I’ve done in years. (Semi despecializing, syncing the films to the 93 mixes as they sound the best I think, etc)

Star Wars 1977 70mm sound mix recreation [stereo and 5.1 versions now available] (Released)
Time

So, on a modern home surround system (decent quality) which sound mix sounds the best overall for each film? I’m not concerned about content here, just quality, SEs included as I don’t mind editing the track to be in sync/revert content to how I prefer to the version im watching. I actually rather enjoy doing that kind of thing. Also it has a pro logic upmixer so 5.1 vs 2.0 doesn’t really matter to me either as I honestly can’t tell the difference in sound. (Other than 2.0 being more efficient in quality vs bitrate… I know there are differences with digital 5.1 being more discrete and isolated and whatnot but sitting in the center of my surround setup and not isolating and comparing individual channels they sound the same to me)

I would have thought blu ray (for esb and rotj anyway… Anh audio is garbage on BD) and 97 for anh but I’ve heard other reports that the previous mixes (93 in particular) sound even better than the bds and topics such as this fascinate me.

The Place to Go for Emotional Support

I’ve kinda went to a middle ground. I’m still probably drinking more than I should (more than the occasional few beers of before) but also quite a large amount less than before I went to rehab, which was about a 5th a day of mostly vodka (meaning I drank everything but of you added it up the total volume would be about a 5th) whereas now I’ve been on the same 5th for two days and it’s about half gone. Tolerance isn’t meat what it used to be, which is a good thing. I think once I finish the 5th I’ll just go back to drinking a few beers at night and smoking pot. It won’t kill me, but at least it’ll be something.
