Also, and this is hard to spot, on all the CG crawls the text goes over the stars. On all the three (four) "original" crawls the stars are visible through the text. This is also evident on the OUT disc. This is a dead-giveaway that it was composted optically rather then digitally... so it's just plain crazy to think they CG'd the crawl and then optically composted it onto a shaking star background. Also, the stars are far brighter then they are on any of the three prequel crawls. And here's an animation to show what I mean, already posted in another thread I chose a "dark star" (as I like to call it) because it's dead-easy to see at real-time and at the original resolution. I haven't resized the frame so the picture will look slightly stretched.

I have found another indication that it is the origal crawl!

Start the film and pause it on the first frame where the STAR WARS logo appears. Now advance 11 frames. You see fixed dirt on the lens between the lower connection line of the "S" and the "T"!

It doesn't appear to be dirt... and it's in more then one frame, as seen above.
