The process was pretty straight forward... just matching the tilt of the crawl by eye (assuming a 35mm lens seemed to be correct), and matching the text, letter by letter, to the underlying SD-crawl:

As you can see, the lines don't match exactly in position, but that's due to the footage being warped, which I didn't want to match. Speed and position are basically a 95% match.

The logo is taken from "Das Imperium schlägt zurück" (it's exactly the same, including the warping) and hand animated to match the ROTJ-logo's motion:

As these are first and foremost meant to be used with Harmy's version, all the final touches were made at 720p res, but all the ground work (the crawl itself and the title cards) are at 1080p, so a FullHD-version is definitely possible. Also I think I can re-create the theatrical SW-crawl this way as well.

Great job on ROTJ!

BTW, Laserschwert, the German SE crawl for ANH seems to be different from the original theatrical version - the letter spacing is much wider, and harder to read. You might consider re-creating the original German crawl and the old logo, as well. :)

I know that, of course ;) Also there's more lines in the paragraphs. I've used the SE crawl as my "easy way out", and because I didn't know how well a re-creation from scratch would work. I'm quite happy with the Jedi crawl, so I guess I can tackle the SW one as well.
