Ya know, if they bothered to matte it onto the original star field, re-jigger the text to match the '77 formatting, and got rid of the stupid subtitle and episode number ... i will be a happy camper for all the attention to detail. From what I've seen of the text color on screen shots, it looks far more like the '77 hue than the later crawl (from what I remember of 30 years ago - gak!)

I hope the music matches the way I remember it, but that is also - like the color - going to be subject to memory only ... with nothing on any home video format to compare it with.


In other words, I don't mind a re-creation of the crawl if they do a good job of it. The remainder of the movie is NOT 1977 original*, so I don't demand absolute authenticity in the crawl.






(*That is to say, not the 70mm stereo audio mix from '77, and I daresay the blaster hits are still altered from the original release.)
