Yeah, I associate that HBO intro and it's accompanying music with the HBO airings of Star Wars that I watched so many times in the early '80s (sort of like we so closely associate the extended 20th Century Fox theme with the film).

Do you also remember the extended version of that intro with the miniature town? (I think they saved it mostly for the feature presentations at night). I wish I had a recording of that, but I don't think I do. HBO used to run a featurette all the time about the creation of the miniature set for that intro.

Too bad HBO doesn't use it anymore.
