I just finished rendering out a 720x480 h.264 mp4 (7500 kbps) version of Adywan's AVCHD opening crawl and first shot (since you'd have to replace the first shot of the GOUT as well, as the starfields wouldn't match exactly regardless of whether you're using the 1997/2004 version or the 1981-1995 version), with no sound, if you're interested.  I didn't notice until after the fact, but it's true 24fps, instead of DVD-standard 23.976fps - I don't know how big of an issue that would be.

But it does, in fact, use the 1977/1997/2004 starfield, the "STAR WARS" logo recedes at the proper speed, and the crawl starts at the same time it has since 1981 (unlike the 1977 and Adywan's Revisited version, which start at a slightly earlier musical cue).  So it is 100% accurate to the 1997/2004 version - if you're a stickler for authenticity and would prefer the 1981 version, go for Moth3r's (which, quality-wise, would match the GOUT better anyway), but Adywan's looks fantastic, and actually matches the original 1977 version more closely with the (obvious) exception of the "EPISODE IV: A NEW HOPE" subtitle.

If you're (or anyone else is) interested, send me a PM and I'll Rapidshare it or something.  With Adywan's permission, of course.
