Speaking of which, did we ever determine what film element the unaltered GOUT crawl would’ve been scanned from?
Lucasfilm’s form response letter at the time stated that existing prints were in “bad condition” or something to that effect, but they didn’t exactly help their case by splicing in a newly transferred piece that looked just fine to me.
Well, if you have seen Empire of Dreams, it was probably done from that. So whatever one they scanned for that is the one they probably tacked on to ANH (while leaving the 1993 sound mix).
