I’m partial to burned in subs, but that’s mainly because my media player doesn’t recognize default or forced sub flags and I hate having to manually turn them on every time. Plus it would match my Despecialized SW and ROTJ, my HDTV AOTC preservation, and the official TFA and RO releases. But that’s my personal preference - if you’d rather do graphical PGS subs that are a close match to the theatrical, that’s your choice. I also don’t think you’d be able to do the dissolves that way as they exist in the theatrical version, but I could be mistaken.
But this is also coming from a US citizen, so I understand the desire for more universal compatibility with multiple languages. I guess I’m just partial to the idea of preserving the English theatrical version exactly as it was.
