1. This is a scan of the actual film print supplied by Zion:

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.
2. Here are Zion's comparison-shots, but with an OUT-DVD screenshot (by me) included:

Credits go to Zion for supplying most of these screen-shots:

Thats exactly what I am looking for! Surprise surprise--identical to the trailer, is it not?
No, actually, it's clearly identical to EOD. this just proves that what you "were looking for" you would see no matter what was posted.
