(boris' visual evidence posted above with the dark star crossing an "a" and a film scratch on a frame of an "e" was very convincing in its own right.)

I really have no idea why there's a debate on this. It may or may not be the original crawl, but if you watch it and instantly recognize it as such, then why dig deep? Everyone will dig until they've found a problem, and then be upset with the film because there's a tiny problem that you won't realize unless you analyze it very, very closely. If it looks original when you're watching it, then it might as well be. If your gut instinct is "Thank the maker," then thank the maker and enjoy the film.
