Looks like the SEs had the original crawl as well.

While we're at it, here's a cap of the pre-THX Japanese Special Collection LD. (courtesy dark/sega SC):

It would appear that this is the same starfield as the '93 THX, i.e. not the original starfield.

Yes it shows what you said before, that for the preview they faded the SW logo out later then in the real-time crawl to make it faster, I'd say that's very strong evidence that the crawl is the original (which I believe it is), and not recreated. By the way, what's that awful yellow line doing in your frames?

I don't think it proves that it's the original, but it could very well be. The only reason I doubt it is because the video doesn't jump around like the EOD clip does.

The line you refer to was on the film. I don't know what the technical term for it is. We didn't clean the scans up or anything.
