I'm thinking they're just gonna splice in the original crawl


That I can live with. The 1993 sound elements (especially Beru's voice) still trouble me greatly, though. Of course, I've come to expect the worst with this. Tack on the crawl from somewhere, though... I mean, where? It had to come from a print of the film somewhere. I see three options with that. If it's a good print of the film it comes from, I don't see why they'd use the Definitive masters over it. On the other hand, it could be a crappy film print, which would make sense to think they'd only use that section of it because they had to. In that case, they'd have to clean it up to match the rest of the film. Or, the more logical solution given the entire shoddy handling of this release, they won't clean it up, as per their comments (even though it's only about a minute's worth of footage), and it will stick out like a sore thumb compared to the rest of the movie.
