I made a comparison between the theatrical cut (russian crawl), the workprint and the HDTV, here you are my conclusions:
- theatrical misses 72 frames between the six reel changes - I suspect this is present only in that russian print, must check with the DTS Cinema track
- workprint and HDTV have the same colors, and pretty much the same frame size
- when “Star Wars” logo is set at the same frame, HDTV has 36 more frames (in comparison with both theatrical and workprint) after the crawl disappears and the first shot - just 1.5s of still starfield
- HDTV has replaced the wipe at frame 175966 with a cut
So, to recreate the theatrical cut, there are just two things to do:
- delete 36 frames after the crawl (and related audio if taken from HDTV/DVD)
- replace the cut at 175966 with the wipe present on BD
done!
