There’s one thing in that reconstruction that isn’t quite right: as I understand it, the original idea was to have the background plate be a top-down view of the snowy Hoth plains, so it would nearly be a featureless white.

Once the crawl finished, Luke on a tauntaun would ride into frame, and then the film would cut from a top-down view to a normal perspective.

That’s really cool. Each film having a different pan to the opening action would be interesting.
(though I still prefer the matching starfield/stardestroyer openings)
