I was pretty sure the crawl (scroll) in the beginning was redone as well and not from the LD. Only because from other boots I have which are LD rips, the entire text body from left to right is a little thinner. On the Star Wars OUT DVD you can tell when the first line appears from the bottom of the frame you can't see the 'I' in 'It' because the start of the text line goes outside the TV safe zone. But from other boots I have, for example TR47/Cowclops V2, the text (It) starts exactly where the TV safe area starts.

Also I think the angle of perspective is a little different. I set up two DVD players and paused a frame in the exact same place, and switched back and fourth from the inputs, and the text body is definetley wider and I'm pretty sure a different angle of persepctive. Maybe the LD used in tr47/cowclops version is just like that, but the new OUT looks an awful lot like the PT crawls.

Plus, I really feel LF pulled some kind of Garret Gilchrist classic edition edit, where they mixed altered SE or 04 DVD material with older LD material. Places where you might not notice. I mean it doesn't look as good (or as fake) as the new 04 stuff but it seems to 'new' perfect example when Luke meets Ben for the first time or when R2 is in 'the land of the jawas'. The color and clarity is very high. More like the 04 DVD than the LD. Unless they cleaned them up.
