Yeah, I'm getting pretty darn convinced that it's the real opening crawl. boris' evidence really sold that for me (thanks, boris). Something about the music synch seems off to me, but I may just have romanticized the synch over the ensuing years of the missing crawl.

Alas, the sight of the crawl - while nice - didn't make me flip like I hoped it would. I've seen it too many times in the past couple of years (though only once actually attached to the movie). Heheh, when it took me totally by surprise in Empire of Dreams, I nearly sh!t myself ... but I guess the thrill is gone.

And I will still look forward to maybe a custom soundtrack bootleg someday ... because I won't be completely happy till I seventysevenize the entire frelling movie!
