This, plus the colour difference (the crawl was more of an orange-yellow than a gold, as can be seen from the EOD clip) plus the differences in logo recession show that this is indeed a falsified original crawl.
So technically it is false advertising to claim this is the unaltered 1977 theatrical version. Because its not.
I completely disagree, the shot continues seamlessly into the first space shot of the movie. The ANH crawl was composited onto the same star background as the pre-ANH crawl, this is plainly obvious.
