What is meant by “branching opening crawls?”
I cannot STAND soft subtitles. But it’s your decision obviously on which you want to use. But consider this, TFA has burned-in subtitles not soft subtitles. So it IS something an official Bluray would do, is it not?
I think an official blu-ray may or may not have burnt in subtitles. But they wouldn’t have the gate weave, slight blurring, etc.
TFA’s seem slightly blurry. In fact they resemble the OT burned in subs pretty closely. Font, blur and all.
