Also, I'm still not over that scanline thing. Like, what does that mean? Was there two different versions of the shot, one with scanlines and one without? If so its weird that the earlier video had it, as it seems that they were adding things to the picture as the releases went, rather than subtracting. I don't see why they would deliberately alter that one detail though.
There is still a possibility the scanlines are gone due to bad DVNR/vertical blur in that shot but I think they would have at least been seen in my PAL pan & scan VHS if that was the case... so yes, it's really weird and the lack of green color in it also makes me think something affected the fx work here, I'm not really sure how this sort of video-fx with scanlines were made, maybe they mention that part in the new making of book. The only thing I could think of is that it's an earlier incarnation of the shot lifted from the 70mm version but I highly doubt that, you got several similiar color-glithes troughout the THX remastering, but were the scanlines went is a mystery.
Edit: also my capture on the last page of that shot is from dark_jedi's pan & scan preservation, that LD is a pre-THX transfer from 1989 or '92 I guess.
