The trailer for the dvd which is designed to sell the OOT's release contains a clip which says in a flaming blue banner "original crawl" and the crawl is clearly not the original crawl. How much more evidence do you need? Clearly the clip proves that it is not the original crawl--all that remains to be seen is if this clip was doctored for the trailer, and this is the only point that is speculatory.
It's only evidence because you choose to believe it is. Zion made a good point that they could have been deliberately speeding it up - shaving a couple of seconds here and a couple of seconds there in adverts does make a difference. The crawl looks completely identical to the one in empire of dreams (except for when the SW logo fades). There are so many other explanations available, and you've chosen to jump to conclusions and to believe just one of many reasonable explanations. And the one you've chosen to believe, I feel is much more far fetched then believing that the crawl is the original. So, how do you know the Empire of Dreams crawl is not photoshopped and is the original? Because of the ANH crawl on the 2004 DVD? The ANH crawl on the 2004 DVD was recreated, wasn't it? Surely you must have some better evidence. Boris, its not plain speculation--its based on evidence! Its based on video examples! LOL! What more do you want!
