Alright, lets once and for all break this down:

1977: Logo recedes at a normal pace, original starfield, original crawl without Episode IV which appears at correct musical cue, slow pan down with Tatooine appearing at correct musical cue.

1981: Logo recedes at a normal pace, new starfield, new crawl with Episode IV which appears after the musical cue, fast pan down with Tatooine and third moon appearing before musical cue. (all home video versions)

1997: Logo recedes at a normal pace, 1977 starfield, 1981 crawl with Episode IV which appears after the musical cue, fast pan down with Tatooine (no third moon) appearing before musical cue.

2004: Logo recedes at a faster pace, 1977 starfield, 1981 crawl with Episode IV which appears after the musical cue, fast pan down with Tatooine (no third moon) appearing before musical cue.

REVISITED: Logo recedes at a normal pace, 1977 starfield, 1981 crawl with Episode IV which appears at correct musical cue, slow pan down to Tatooine (with third moon) appearing at correct music cue.

BIG QUESTION: Some have said the crawls were digitally recreated for the SE. Is this true?
