I have an even different one apparently.  :-)  The Star Wars logo has purple lettering under it in my version.

I am learning a lot about my process and unfortunately I am going to have to start over to get the better picture quality.  I kept my old files from my progress so far in case anything got damaged, I will at least have my first version.  I was crushing the blacks which was losing some of the stars.  Now I will just barely more than capture all the blacks and will adjust the brightness down a notch in post to get rid of a small amount of noise that it generates in the darkest areas.  After experimenting with the settings, this gave the best result to capture all of the stars and not affect picture quality.  The screenshot above is a rough example of what it will look like (tinypic likes to mess with the colors a bit).  I will post more interesting pictures as I go along.

In case you haven't figured it out, I am starting at the end and working backwards.  The logo is as far as I got so far, but I will be starting over again tonight.
