Thanks for posting that blog link Jay, as it’s the first time I’ve ever seen that early ‘matte painting’ of the original Death Star with it’s ‘weapon dish’ in the CENTRE! - I didn’t know that the guy who did the ‘computer graphic readouts’ was unfortunately given this initial version to work from…and that it was too late/costly to re-do them correctly after it was decided to MOVE the location of the 'weapon dish.

That certain EXPLAINS the discrepancy concerning the look of the ‘plans’ in the original movie to me, after all these years!

The correction done by adywan for his STAR WARS REVISITED edit happened to be one of my favourite enhancements, but I see he’s planning on KEEPING the original ‘plans’ for his HD makeover now…thanks to ROGUE ONE retrospectively suggesting that the stolen ‘plans’ show an ‘earlier design’ of the Death Star to begin with.

However, I’m glad to see that this particular footage discontinuity in EPISODE IV has been smoothed out now, seeing as the original discrepancy has been made a non-issue thanks to ROGUE ONE.
