The "original crawl" on the new DVD is NOT the original crawl! Screenshot inside!

It appears from your screenshot that the trailer may simply be less cropped than the "Empire of Dreams" version, which would actually be a good thing. This would explain why the "Rebel spaceships, striking" line is fully visible while the "Star Wars" logo has not yet faded out.

I have not yet seen the trailer, so I'm going strictly on the screenshot here, versus my "Empire of Dreams" DVD.


In the EOD footage the logo is fading by the time the first line is done. Just as the second line comes up it is nearly invisible. It is totally gone about halfway through the second line.

In the trailer the logo is as strong and bold as it first appears and hasn't even started fading at all yet.

The color differences are also a dead giveaway that the dvd crawl is not the EOD source.
