I don’t have anything ready, but this is a sample of just how close the 77 and 81 crawls are. I created this to check the laser blasts to be sure that they are identical in both versions. If you look closely you can see that some of the details on the Star Destroyer do not line up, but it is really hard to see much of anything different when you play it at speed. But as you can see, the engine glow lines up nicely. I have the engine glow layer isolated now and am working on the beauty pass layer (I’m creating PNG files with a transparent background for easy composition). Then I need to work on the laser layer (I need to isolate all the laser bolts so I can control the transparency allowing stars to show through like in the original 77 version - then I can use that to fix the blu-ray).
