I believe it also screws up the music cue - in the 1977 version, there is an orchestral sting ("BAWM!") the instant Tatooine comes into view.  In the 2004 version (honestly, I think this has been the case since the 1981 re-release, but I have no proof), we see Tatooine, and then a second or so later comes the BAWM! sting.

Kind of like how adding in "Episode IV A NEW HOPE" changed the timing, making the crawl itself appear too late for the music cue (sadly, this is present in the other 5 movies as well - the only times the crawls appear on the right music cue are in the 1977 theatrical crawl, and in Adywan's Revisited cuts).
