any chance of someone making an “a new hope” crawl for this?
I doubt it, if they did it would no longer be a theatrical preservation.
Except that the revised crawl first appeared in theaters in 1981, so it’s still a theatrical preservation. A 1080p scan of the 1981 crawl does exist, and the 1977 crawl in 4K77 is an upscale from 1080p itself, so the 1981 crawl would just need some extra cleanup and color balancing to fit.
I don’t see why it shouldn’t be an option, especially since the 1981 version is not represented on DVD or Blu-ray (the SE crawl is a 1997 recomp that uses the 1977 starfield). So it’s still restoring something we don’t already have in proper quality.
