And we're not talking about a "simple difference in cropping".
Therefore isn't it reasonable to assume that they would do this composite each time they made a theatrical master?

Mysetriously, the clip on the trailer cuts off just as it is about the get to the first line formatted, which is the third line in. Uh oh. What are they hiding?
Then I took a closer look at the screenshot. "The Star Wars logo looks funny--shouldn't it have receeded by now??"
Sure enough, i took a look at the Empire of Dreams original crawl footage--it is not the same.
THE UPCOMING OOT DVD CRAWL IS JUST A PHOTOSHOPED VERSION OF THE EPISODE IV CRAWL. And, 1. how do you know the empire of dreams has the original version? 2. How do you know that there weren't 3 slightly differently formatted crawls for the 3 theatrical versions? Did you know that when creating the opening crawl it would have been composited together? Therefore isn't it reasonable to assume that they would do this composite each time they made a theatrical master? And as they had to make 3 different masters, there could be 3 slightly different versions? And so in doing so isn't it reasonable to think that in some instances the SW logo will be more faded faster then in other instances?
There is no solid evidence that this is a recreated crawl. Also the percieved difference could be due a simple difference in cropping (though by looking at the stars it does appear this is not the case)
.
Stop jumping to early conclusions and complaining about every grain.

Absolutely not. You really shouldn't assume...
