Wow. I can't believe the Greedo scene actually made it into a home release looking like that!

Unfortunately, LFL isn't known for giving a damn about home video release quality. :-/

Recall, LFL wasn't as involved with the video releases back then, Fox was doing all the work.

As I said, I am guessing that Fox's French division simply didn't think to look for an English-subtitle-free element of the Greedo scene which looked better than that faded element of the French version. Perhaps they weren't even aware that a superior clean element had been used for the Japanese and North American widescreen LDs.
