My old LD to DVD transfer, which had subs based on the 1995 VHS, does have the ellipses at the beginning of the second lines.

I've mentioned this before (see here), but we believe that the UK TV broadcast of ROTJ had the theatrical subtitles. I've lost my tape, and have so far not managed to find anyone who still has a copy to stick around long enough to grab the required scenes.

And it has also been suggested that some versions do not have a subtitle for the line "I want fifty thousand. No less." (Thread here).

Thanks for the links, very interesting... that guy haven't been logged in for a long time :( maybe someone still have that recorded somewhere around here, it would be fantastic.

I'm now pretty sure that the line "You may have been a good smuggler..." were split in two in the cinema as there's a cut from Solo to Jabba in that scene that corresponds to the dialogue, it would be very unusual if they opted to have it as one continous line overlaying the two cuts. I've also noticed that the timings are way of in both the Gout video and the ones g-force and squirrel used when compared to the Empire of Dreams footage especially the line "I shall enjoy watching you die." I don't know if they took their timings from the LD's or Gout but it confirms that the video timings are not the same as the theatrical.
