The crawl is faithful to the 1977 version- but I guess the debate as to whether or not it's the real film crawl or a digitally re-created one will go on. 4) Lastly, the long-debated matter of the opening crawl.

The star pattern in the background, the speed of the crawl, etc. all match the Empire of Dreams version, so I think it's restored from an original print or set of elements.
