It has been speculated that the Falcon isn't flying towards isn't a galaxy (as all of the story takes place inside the Star Wars galaxy and travel between galaxies would require technology beyond even that shown in the saga, not something that concerns me much as I don't feel Star Wars is science fiction).

It may be an accretion disks around a young star (something that doesn't really match the current image or your lovely new one both of which look like spiral galaxies).

It might be nice to experiment with images of what accretion disks might look like (some look very pretty and there are a lot out there if you do a search) :

 

 It has never really bothered me that perhaps the rebel fleet was hiding outside of the galaxy at the end of ESB.   I think the final shots could use a little punching up, but nothing too drastic.

It depends on how science fictiony you feel Star Wars to be.

If it's pure fantasy that's fine but sort of doesn't make much narrative sense because if the Rebels can hop in and out of their galaxy why bother building bases?

The spaces outside their galaxy would be huge, imagine that looking for the Rebels in their galaxy was like looking for one person in a major city, looking for them at that distance from their galaxy would be like looking for one person in a city the size of our entire solar system.

The Imperials wouldn't stand a chance of finding them.

In terms of Science Fiction, Proxima Centauri (the nearest star to our own) is 4.2 light years away, a long distance but with the technology shown in Star Wars a short hop, Andromeda (the nearest spiral galaxy) is 2.5 million light years away to see it the way we see the object out of that window we would need to be half way there.

Even with Star Wars style technology it would take aeons to get to that point and aeons to get back.

I don't think Star Wars is science fiction but even as a fantasy it has to make sense within it's fantasy realm and an accretion disk would look similar (in many ways nicer because of the glow coming from the young star) and make sense both as in a fantasic and in a science fictiony manner (making both sets of fans happy).

Damn so that means I cant write my graphic novel. Boba Fett vs. Predator. LOL

You can write it but you'd need a Star Trek cliche to get them together ;-)

The thing (whatever it is) at the end of esb always kinda botrhered me 2. maybe u should just change it to a regular star..idk just an idea

That is what I was sort of suggesting.

Only rather than just a star, make it a very young star with an accretion disk of proto planetary matter around it.

That way we can keep the basic spiral shape of the original shot, keep the characters in their galaxy and even get a nice pretty glow from the star into the bargain.

Everybody wins.

Something like this :

Even tho that idea is totally confusing...it does look cool. haha

Something like this too:

He's heading from that small moon.

Now you know why GOUT ain't OOUT (or at least one of many reasons).

 That'd be nice. ;)

005, I have more stripe pictures at home that explain the situation.  I'll post them tonight.

It's just the framing, really - it happens to any telecined film.  The entire image to the edges of the frame is NEVER seen, even in theaters.  Different transfers will always have slightly different framing.
