All of the Star Wars discs have this problem. Or I call it a problem. For some reason, they prefer it this way. Even the '93 laserdiscs had them outside of the frame, but at least they used the cool original font rather than this gross crap they use now. I don't know why they don't just burn the damn subtitles into the image. It really pisses me off that they don't. I wonder if there is someway I could edit the subtitle font out of the bootlegs I have now and somehow put them into the frame of the DVD release image. Probably not, but maybe there's some technically-minded person who can dig something out of that last sentence.
