If they’re also going to restore the intros for the different languages ​​and localizations, I hope we’ll see more videos of these with the text in other languages.

Same here, mate - and hopefully some more videos with subtitles as well. 👍

Interesting there are two title cards for the German ‘A long time ago…’ title card.

I’m pretty certain the 2nd format is from the 1995 THX VHS/LDs?

It could be that they are archiving pretty much everything they can get their hands on… or… and this is just me spitballing ideas (so very much likely incorrect / a pipe-dream)… though how is ‘seamless branching’ these days for 4K UHD discs?

Is it a viable option to have differing title cards depending on which audio option is selected? I don’t mean to get anyone’s hopes up that the 1985 or 1993 mixes could be included in a possible future physical media release… when there there is no evidence to date of that happening - though it would be a welcome addition as a ‘bonus material’ option.

^ again, that is just me spitballing ideas - I’ve no idea if it is feasible or a likely thing to occur.
 

Were the alien subs on the BD and UHD player generated? Were they at least the right font?

I wonder how will George Lucas react to this whenever he makes a public statement. He will probably criticise it.

this will probably be his reaction.

I don’t think he cares.

If I’m not mistaken, that 20th Century logo is the first example we have of two versions of the same scene being uploaded? Perhaps this is a very small insight into how they’re evaluating different sources?

Yeah. It seems that this second one is the correct one. The old one was slightly different…

The one with the hair is the correct one, the top one.

It’s possible the 2nd one is from an international release or something, since they’re scanning foreign languages too.

It’s not right. The second one is, in fact, the right one.

“old” ALI (adjusted to match 4K77):

4K77

“new” ALI

The light beams are different and move at different speeds; the overall proportions of the image are different, too. The hair might have been superimposed in because its position is also slightly different…

Look at 4K77 and the GOUT DVD logo.

The one with the little hair at the top of the screen is the correct logo.

Oh my god. The hair proves nothing; that could have been added in for all I know. It fades in and out at different times, and the light beams are different in terms of look & speed.

On the other hand, the second logo is almost identical to the Original, besides the hair, which was probably cleaned as per the restoration…

The position isn’t different. Look at where the hair is in the light beam. Exactly the same.

Looks like the first image just isn’t cropped in as much, whereas 4K77 and the new scan are cropped in slightly more, and they removed the hair lol

I’m sure some purists will be upset about the missing hair haha

That’s another thing: the orignal Fox logo element used for Star Wars was always cropped like that. In fact, all that extra information doesn’t exist in the Star Wars version of the logo. They most likely couldn’t find a high-quality version of the correct logo, so that was probably from a different film. Which explains why it’s different; they also probably put that hair in after the fact. When you line it up precisely in an editor, it is, in fact, slightly off. I guess they ended up finding the original and cleaning up the hair.

The second one is correct. Not the first.
