For those interested in the minutiae of these things one unique aspect of the Pan/Scan telecine is the extra 'headroom'. Although I have screwed up the aspect ratio on my PAL 1982 transfer you should still be able to see the extra visual information there at the top of the screen. In these examples, the skyline is visible in the sandpeople shot and chewies head is not cropped in the elevator (as compared to the widescreen framing). This is a corruption of GL's original compositions, of course, but it does give you a little sneak peek beyond the official frame.

Even between the tape transfers of the exact same telecines there seems to be slight variations. I compared my 1982 PAL UK tape (made in USA) to Russs15's 1982 PAL UK tape (made in Japan) and found very minute differences at the edges of the left and right of the frame here and there (though only the odd line or so). Russs15 also spotted that my tape had a different fox intro title card. (http://youtu.be/-HJyFadDs3M) Small differences but it does add to the imperfect charm of this format (or not if you hate it!)
