With Doug posting something, could it be The Hobbit Complete Recordings and Book? That would have started around 10 years ago??

I've done a few Battlefront 2 Concept Mock Ups using Williams' Star Wars Music. Hope you enjoy. -
I just got a shipping notice! I was also waiting for the amazon UK release, but then had this wierd feeling that it was only going to be Disney Music Emporium, so I pre-ordered. Must have been before the site took it down. I am very sorry for everyone else that could not secure one, this is a very unfortunate situation.

I know why the E.T. one was so much better, because the Halle Orchestra put the event on and Disney Concerts weren't producing it. Disney Concerts are the producers of every Star Wars Live To Picture unfortunately.

I agree, it's far too loud (dialogue, sound effects). The best mix was when I saw A New Hope by the LSO in 2018 (Royal Albert Hall) [Saturday Evening showing], however it was still too loud for my liking. The worst one was Empire Strikes Back in the Albert Hall (Dirk Brossè and London Philharmonia). I was sat in the stalls right behind the engineers/producers and someone went down and collared one of them, essentially asking them to turn the sound and dialogue down as the music in places was barely audible. I couldn't hear everything said as it was the interval, but it seemed to be a little heated. The engineer ultimately said something along the lines of, "it's standardised and we can't change it". The London Philharmonia are obviously a great orchestra, but they don't have the same 'clout' as the London Symphony Orchestra, so the Empire concert was easily the weakest of the original trilogy presentations there at The Royal Albert Hall. I saw E.T. at The Bridgewater Hall in Manchester and thats a much better venue for this (I think), the balance was excellent throughout.

Yes, they all include subtitles. E.T did as well. I would assume they all do.

Lucasfilm/Disney allowed expanded Solo to be released Digitally and Physically (soon right?). Also a digital expansion of Rogue One. Oh it's happening again, excitement levels rising! -
These Dolby Atmos releases show the state that the Jedi tapes must be in. These are all mono centre channel rips which highlight the 'data' missing from Jedi's transfers compared with A New Hope. Main Titles - A New Hope Main Titles (A New Hope) [Centre Only].mp3 Tie Fighter Attack - A New Hope Tie Fighter Attack (A New Hope) [Centre Only].mp3 Finale - Empire Strikes Back Finale (Empire) [Centre Only].mp3 Return of the Jedi Return of the Jedi (Jedi) [Centre Only].mp3 It sounds like they've maybe put reverb over the tape transfers to try and mask the issues. It sounds like aggressive mp3 compression as well.
