Good work, Boris.

Would this then indicate that they basically went and re-scanned the original crawl? Why wouldn't they just use the EOD scan? Makes one wonder what else they have in that Ranch, just waiting to be used for another release...

Also, based on the caps I've seen, it looks like the opening stardestroyer fly-by is pretty much the exact same shot taken from the 2004 SE. The detail, colour and image characteristics match perfectly. I am guessing that this is because the starfield on the 1993 LD fly-by is the re-created one and thus would not match the original crawl, so they just spliced the original crawl to the 2004 fly-by, which would also match in quality and image characteristics, perhaps downgrading their quality so as not to completely stand out (they certainly look better than any other shot on the disk from what I've seen, and are free of the ugly grain that this release is notorious for--the look of the Tattooine moon for me is a dead give away).
