I brought this up a while ago; here is the post. Mike reckoned the same starfield was used when it was re-composited for the 1981, only flipped and positioned differently. (I could never see that , myself.)

Although hard to see, the telecine also confirms the GOUT has the original starfield.

i agree that the starfield post 1981 is different and not a flipped version. the stars are completely different. i flipped the starfiled from the laserdisc and overlayed it to the original starfield found in the 2004 & GOUT DVDs and there was no place that they could match

Yes. Tell me more of this second moon, please.

if you look HERE you can see that the main large moon at the left is different on the laserdiscs than the one from the GOUT & 2004 DVD set
