1. The original version has the Rebel fleet hyperspace out immediately before the end credits. Follow-up versions (THX re-release, Special Edition and DVD) all cut to the end credits before the hyperspace jump.

IMDB seems to be the only source on this, as no one I've seen in other threads can produce the evidence or video that the fleet ever went into hyperspace. I need to see if my dad still has the original CBS-FOX VHS copies of ESB and RotJ and see if this is true. I grew up on those copies though, and I don't remember that.

I just had to check, because I remembered the jump too.
On my copy from the Definitive Collection, the scene ends in a radial wipe to end credits. On my OOT-tape (recorded from TV, my THX tape was lost to a hungry VCR), it is a straight cut. The wipe sure reminds of a hyperspace jump, and I guess that it was the intended effect.

I'm going to be putting the open window into every shot. Its going to be hard, yeh, but it will be worth it.

Just please don't open the windows near the landing platform more. I think it would be better if these were all closed, instead. The windows are pretty thin, but we can see other parts of the wall later, and then the wall appears to be quite thick.

Changing something along these lines is something i'm steering well clear of because it is just the kind of thing that Lucas would do if he thought about it.

LOL!
