Frankly, the subtitles being below the image is one of the remaining non-restored artifacts of Star Wars '77. The subtitles don't belong below the image, they belong in it. If we are considering Star Wars as a valuable piece of cinematic history, then the proper way to view it is with Greedo's subtitles on the image itself.

Having the subtitles below the image is just as incorrect as not having them at all. Although one of the "wrong" options allows the viewer to translate what Greedo is going on about, that does not make it any less incorrect for historical purposes.

And, yes, I am conceding that the release on DVD, even in shoddy quality, makes it currently available for scholars and others to see a fair facsimile of Star Wars '77 (with the proviso that the audio is altered in many respects and, heheh, Greedo's subtitles are wrong).
