I take back what I said about the radar dish. It's actually not there in the film cell. You can see a cloud formation that is almost completely covered by the dish in the familiar version.

I swear I can see something at the bottom of the frame, but I'm not sure what. Maybe it's just damage. (I will note that in the Super 8, the bottom of the frame is cropped off.

This is even more perplexing - now we have film cells from the original 70mm cut and the revised cut. Even stranger, the Yoda/Dagobah-themed cells seem to come from a reddish-brown-faded, possibly Kodak SP, source - even though there are cells of other scenes from reels 3 and 4 that are not faded. So we could be dealing with multiple source prints here...
