Not only that, but the Star Field changes.

That's partly to do with where I got the "original" frame from. It's actually from my retimed sequence, which used a static star plate. The original original sees the starfield change ever so slightly over time.

My retimed sequence, incidentally, was made to match the ESB pull back, not the OT ANH pull back, simply because it was easier to rip the ESB DVD than capture the OT ANH VHS. I made graphs of the logos' sizes over time and came up with a wacky formula to map one onto the other. Here's part of the C code, if anyone's interested:

m=1+sqrt(sin(PI*x*(1.0/290))); // first half
n=2.25-x*(1.0/290)*1.25;
nw=(sqrt(x*1.0/290)+(x*1.0/290))*0.5;
mw=1-nw;
k=mw*m+nw*n;
xt=(float)x/k;
