Very interesting. I learn something new every day on this site.

I don't mean to derail this thread, but I have a quick question and didn't think starting a new thread was worth it. Is it true that different theatrical releases of ESB had slightly different endings? Something about a missing FX shot of the rebel fleet or something? Is there a thread or pics of this somewhere on OT.com? Couldn't find anything.

There is a thread, I think about the 70mm ESB.

But I'll save you the homework. From what I understand, the second establishing shot of the Rebel fleet was added at the last second. The 70mm was prepared first, which is why the sound mix is a tiny bit different too, and this shot is absent on that release. The 35mm had the completed sound mix and the missing shot. Or am I wrong on that? The Puggo 8mm release has some of these differences, since it is based off the incomplete 70mm edit (also things like the Emperor hologram not fading in).
