Yes, R2 no longer rolls back before going forward. As DE had fixed.

So is this just to compare BD vs DVD?
It unfortunately wouldn't be possible to do with GOUT, as it doesn't match to the SE when overlayed (due to some sort of distortion) and the cropping changes from shot to shot (I know because I use the difference filter to match the two sources).
Right now i'm using the BD and HD broadcast sources, to test what I can accomplish, while also finding changes along the way. The variations between GOUT and DVD are another ball of wax, as you point out. They would require a two method approach. Doing it once, straight no cropping, then a second pass to compensate for recropped scenes, compensate, then run again to see if other changes emerge at that point. If there's warpage the results won't be as clean, but hopefully useful.
Having watched 30 minutes (beginning) and quick scanned another 30 minutes (the DS attack), there are few variations between these sources at the 1/4 quality level (480px). It's not ideal, just as much as my sources are not ideal. There's something weird going with the reds and bright white areas. Like all the ceiling lights in the Tantive are registering. Haven't run the full size test.
As Harmy says this is a common tool for aligning segments. For me next step finding a program which can create the frame color analysis timeline is important as it will eliminate (possibly) the watching of this thing. Mechanically finding changes can speed up the process in the future.
*EDIT*
the super shits'n'giggles DIFF release would contain multiple. Theater Performance Recording vs CED or early VHS, later VHS vs LaserDisc, VHS vs GOUT, GOUT vs DVD, HD vs BR. Each at full res, so it'd imply one of those logarithmic spirals:
yeah the resolutions don't equal diminishing values of the diagram... the later releases would be about changes, the earlier releases about quality improvements. Never gonna happen, but might be nice to look at for a short spell.
