Oh carp, here I've used GOUT 34139
For the visual cues to locate it, I've used red & blue indicator lamps on the panel.
At GOUT frame:
00688 - STAR WARS title card appears
34133 - only one red light beyond Ozzel's nose
34134 - 2nd red light turns on
34138 - blue light is clearly visible between nose & mustache
34139 - blue light is mostly obscured by mustache, barely seen - this is the frame shown below
I'm using DGIndex/AviSynth/VirtualDub combo to see the frame numbers
Hmm... weird, I guess I'll have to recheck my numbers then. ;)

How about those pan/scans 'eh ? They look more dotty than liney!
Was 5652-80 that way too?
I remember it looked more in line with the JSC, but I will check again and post it.
It's very interesting to see how much better the JSC transfer looks compared to its later US release. I always heard that was the case but this is actually the first time I've seen it for myself.

It looks to me that maybe its ALWAYS been dots, just bad laserdisc transfers before.
I agree, looks like it. Somehow the vertical lines are not that pronounced in the JSC transfer...

We seem to be eliminating a lot of these change/change backs. The only one that is obvious is the direction of the scanlines in the Conference, which still blows my mind.
...and I suspect that may also be the case with these holograms, if you look at them in motion there seems to be both vertical and horizontal ones in there, maybe Mallwalker's caps will prove it right or wrong.
Thanks for the trouble, Mallwalker.
