For what it's worth, I had information from a friend at ILM prior to the GOUT release that the original title and crawl were, indeed, recreated for the 2006 release, albeit carefully and conscientiously. 

 

I hadn't given it much thought until recently, when I noticed an extreme amount of jitter in the title card, which I have from two absolutely confirm-able 1977 sources, which are identical to each other.  What's odd is that the GOUT title card element is much straighter and smoother in its motion.  Stabilizing my 1977 elements doesn't yield the GOUT result; they have internally different characteristics.  If I didn't know better, I'd say either 1) GOUT was indeed a recreation or 2) There was a second, more stable version of the title card created after the initial release in 1977, but before the 1981 re-release and re-do, which GOUT is based upon.

 

You can view the differences for yourself in the Legacy forum, but there is more to the story here, for sure...
