Now that's the first time I ever noticed it... far out!

I have a question to some purists concerning German end credits on the original German ANH. I only have seen the 4:3 P&S VHS which kept the German credits - however, it lost the circular wipe from the award ceremony to the credits. I wonder if this has to do with the P&S processing (as the credits are squeezed as opposed to the last shot), or if it has to do with German localization (inability to reproduce the wipe from film to German credits)?

Has the Widescreen version also lost the circular wipe?

 

There is no circular wipe to the end credits in the 1993 LD version, which is in widescreen. There just is a cut to the credits starting with "Drehbuch and Regie - George Lucas" (translation of: Directed and Written by)

I don't think any german version had a circular wipe. I can't check this right now, but I suspect the cut is a few frames earlier as the circular wipe.
