The "original crawl" on the new DVD is NOT the original crawl! Screenshot inside!

Yeah, I just saw that. Except for the same complaint about the timing of the Star Wars logo to the rest of the crawl, it seems very much like the original crawl with the appropriate line breaks and everything. So it's the original or at least some work was done to make it look like the original other than just painting away the "Episode IV: A New Hope" stuff. But I love the caption for the Greedo picture:

"The most talked about change of them all: Han Solo's "Yes, I bet you have," is shortened to allow for an exchange of blaster fire in 1997. It was slightly retimed in the 2004 DVD release."

Don't go into a lot of detail, even though they acknowledge that everyone knows what it's about. The nice little spin here to make it sound positive, "to allow for an exchange of blaster fire."
