For those who are interested I've done the subs for dark_jedi's ANH '97SE forthcoming disc and decided to share some observations I did when working on them, some may find it interesting.

The timings and the appearence of the '97 LD/VHS subs are not identical to the theatrical subs where I do have a reference to look at, the same goes for the '04 DVD subs. Here is all the lines that differ from each other.

Greedo:

'97 LD - "...every bounty hunter in the galaxy will be looking for you."

'04 DVD - "every bounty hunter in the galaxy will be looking for you."

 

'97 LD - "He has no time for smugglers who drop their shipments..."

'04 DVD - "He has no time for smugglers..."

 

'97 LD - "...at the first sign of an Imperial cruiser."

'04 DVD - "who drop their shipments at the first sign of an Imperial cruiser."

Jabba:

'97 LD - "Solo, come out of there, Solo!"

'04 DVD - "Solo! Come out of there, Solo!"

 

'97 LD - "So, for an extra twenty percent..."

'04 DVD - "So, for an extra 20%--"

 

'97 LD - "Okay, fifteen percent."

'04 DVD - "Okay, 15%."

 

'97 LD/'04 DVD - "But if you fail me again..."

Theatrical - "But, if you fail me again..."

 

'97 LD - "You won’t be able to go near a civilized system."

Theatrical/'04 DVD - "you won’t be able to go near a civilized system."

Also the DVD subs have the word "Imperial" with a lowercase i. The lines that are split up doesn't have an ellipsis before the continuing line in the SE as the Original had, you can see this in the screen-caps on the first page. Now, I'll end my useless ranting... ;)
