In adding a new frame to put all of the starfield discussion, I noticed that I forgot the sped up pan down from the crawl.

Basically the camera starts panning down at the same time, but the 2004 version reaches the planet first and sits there for around 3 seconds before the Blockade Runner flies overhead. In the 1977 version the camera pans down a bit slower, but the ship flies overhead within a second of the camera settling. Not sure if this "watching the planet sit there" is a 1981, 1997, or 2004 change.
EDIT: We should get frame counts.
EDIT 2:
THERE'S BEEN FRAME ADVANCE IN VLC SINCE 1.0 AND I'VE BEEN RANDOMLY PAUSING TO GET MY SHOTS?! WHAT THE HECK MAN?!
EDIT YET AGAIN:
~39 frames 2004
~28 frames 1977
It may not seem like a lot, but I think it is.
