Someone speculated that theres fake gate weave but to me this is pure heresay--its the real deal as far as i am concerned. Where LFL got this from is the real question--a telecine was already done for EOD but this is clearly different than that one, and based on the much better sharpness and fidelity it appears to be a newer one as well.

Yes the GOUT crawl looks genuine enough and so does the stardestroyer flyover scene.
You can clearly tell the difference between the 1993 master and this unknown mysterious GOUT source as it has a slight chromashift or colour-bleed. The GOUT segment seems to been spliced in right after the fox fanfare and to the cut where you see the stardestroyer coming toward you. What really irritates me is that why did they not use a segment only a couple seconds longer so it covered all the space scenes until the first interior view of the Tantive ship for instance.
Judging by the reasonable good quality of the whole GOUT segment, chances are that the mysterious source actually is a full SW transfer from a good quality print that GL is hiding under his bed. And maybe he's going to sell it to us one frame or one scene at a time, if his going to sell it at all that is.
