I think I mentioned it earlier in this thread, similar damage appear elsewhere in the film but not as fatal as those in the corridor, here's a few of them as they're seen on the SWE LD (Technidisc):

It might be coincidence, but the damage on this shot corresponds with a warble in the soundtrack in either the 85 LD or the 93 THX LD. Maybe both, I don't remember. Although the sound source for a transfer is usually not the print the picture is captured from, so who knows.

I believe this shot is near a reel change, too, so end-of- or beginning-of-reel damage could account for the sound and picture glitches on this occasion.

(...so the Tantive shot WAS an optical! Glad to know I wasn't misremembering. ;) )
