It would also (to me at least) make sense that Yoda makes some sort of natural verbal reaction to Luke aiming the blaster at him. As far as a possible difference between the 35mm and 70mm prints…I can’t say for certain what I heard in each because I saw TESB several times in both print formats.
TESB is the one I saw the most theatrically, both in 35mm and 70mm presentations. It’s the one out of all SW films I’ve seen the most, and I would swear that little Yoda yell was in every version I’ve ever seen. Certainly I recall hearing it in ever theatrical showing I ever saw back then. Point being is why wouldn’t it be included in the audio since it was certainly part of the audio at some point BEFORE the SE was ever created? Also, again…I checked all the English audio tracks on this and the yell is only in the 16mm audio track. Why none of the others? I’m only questioning its omission certainly from any of the pre-SE audio tracks because it certainly was there prior to that version, yet I’m assuming the primary audio source for this edit was from the SE BD…so could this simply be an oversight? Overall this edition was outstanding…yet I realize this one little thing is probably insignificant, but it’s bothering me because it’s one little thing I remember quite well from every time I’ve seen it before the SE was ever around (and I’ve actually refused to watch the SE of TESB).
Okay, thanks. Makes sense. I rechecked and the audio choice of the 16mm mono mix DOES have that little Yoda yell…but in checking the other English audio tracks, it’s not there.
Hello…can someone answer this for me…tried searching and didn’t find an answer to my question. I’m now watching TESB 2.0 and immediately noticed something missing which was always in the theatrical version:
Right after Yoda says “Feel like what?” and Luke turns his blaster on Yoda…Yoda let out a little yell (Aaarrhhh!!). That is conspicuously missing in this. Anyone else notice, or is there a particular reason that little sound is gone? I also wondered about the running time…TESB was originally 124 min, but this edition, supposedly a restoration of the theatrical version, is just about 2 1/2 minutes longer. What accounts for that?
Thanks for any answers someone can give. I also noticed the same thing with ROTJ (which I haven’t watched yet)…it’s about 2 minutes longer than the theatrical, and SW (ANH) is 1 minute longer.
