Hey Laserschwert,

Huge thanks for your amazing work on the 4K Krieg der Sterne trilogy! The detail you’ve put in is incredible.

But noticed a small difference in the credits when comparing your version to the German 1993 LaserDisc. The timing and positioning aren’t exactly the same. Not sure if the 1993 LD matches the theatrical cut exactly, but since the 1990 Sat.1 broadcast has the same credits (and was likely based on the theatrical version), I assume it’s more accurate. Here’s the recording: 93 LD Credits.

Also, the Greedo subtitles look very similar to the 1990 broadcast but are positioned a bit differently.

On another note, in addition to the German 1980 Empire Strikes Back 35mm print, there’s also a German 1997 Return of the Jedi 35mm print now. Since it uses the same initial crawl as the original theatrical release, the print could be used for future projects instead of re-creating the crawl. The print was scanned by The Aluminum Falcon, and more info is here: forums.thestarwarstrilogy.com.

Just a few minor things, but thought they might be helpful for future projects like a German 4K**-Trilogy or Despecialized v3.0 translations.

Thanks again for all the great work!
