I can completely understand why skyjedi2005 can be upset about this little American Graffiti alteration, it doesn't matter how small the change is. It's basically why has it been done in the first place, simply because Lucas can do it. You never heard people complain about those old dirty opticals and natural sky that supposedly ruined the film before '98 did you? The '98 release, is the third version of American Graffiti and the same goes for the '04 THX 1138, will we have a fourth version of these films soon? Probably, it's beginning to become a sick joke really.
Zombie, I think the reason why you never heard so many people complain about the redone opening crawl in Star Wars, is that it was done in '81 vs '98 for American Graffiti, no internet available and when it became available most people on forums was either to young to know about the change or the old-timers had simply learned to accept it for all these years, I never accepted it though ;) so, I was very pleased and very surprised when they actually spliced it in for the GOUT release. Never thought that would happen.
Btw, thanks for making converted screen photos available!
