That ronto thing has always confounded me. George usually only does that sort of thing to hide a jump cut. But I'm not aware of anything being cut, so WHAT WAS THE POINT?
Was the original film irreperably damaged for a second?
Did George hate the white droid?
Was Marcia Lucas a background extra?
This is one of my great unanswered Star Wars questions.

I hate the ronto, too.
I guess it was just one of those show-off kind of "HEY LOOK WHAT WE CAN DO WITH CGI" things. In other words, there is no point to it.
