Even better. Here is a scan of an original 77 print (let's just say this is from the "X0 Project archives"):

This would pretty much prove that not only does the OUT release look to have the original starfield, but so does Empire of Dreams and the 2004 DVD. Which begs the question, why did the other releases not have this starfield? I wonder if the "A New Hope" theatrical version had this "new" starfield as well.



And here is another scan. This one shows one of the last frames the Star Wars logo is visible:

This would confirm that the OUT trailer crawl is somehow doctored, seeing that the logo is nowhere near this faded away in the clip and the crawl is farther along.
