As others have said, the countless other sources including location photos point to the fact that these scenes were shot in daylight. Comparing other shots between the JSC and the DC/GOUT, there is a definite color difference as far as hue and saturation are concerned. But these two scenes clearly have more differences than that. I'm 99.9% convinced that GL had this done deliberately for the THX LD release.
These aren't the only differences between the two versions either. There are other changes to the film in the '93 version I may point out another time.

Btw does X0 have Episode IV in the beginning?

Yes, we have toyed with doing an EditDroid type thing where you can choose which crawl to watch, but we haven't decided anything yet. If nothing else, we will use the "A New Hope" version from the LDs.
BTW, I don't care what anyone else says, but the crawl on the GOUT is the original crawl, not a recreation.
