He 'somehow' found the original crawl to put with the OUT. (assuming it isn't a repro, which since no one has been able to show is, I'll say is original).
Well okay, but I think that's assuming quite a bit.I know it was the laserdisc master, as I said in my post. But they could of done better than that. Lucas has never thrown anything away in his life.

And I thought someone had shown that the 77 crawl was artificially reproduced? Is that not the case?
If it was the original, then perhaps they found one print laying around where the crawl portion was relatively in tact.
