Since you mentioned Greedo subs, I still think alien subtitles should be featured in a forced subtitle track rather than burned in to our pristine picture (for the sake of foreign viewers, if nothing else), but Harmy says he wants it this way, so I guess I've lost out on this hope.

 

The Project Threepio subtitles (which Harmy is using) are positioned on the screen with burned-in alien subtitles in mind.

Foreign subs for alien subtitles are also moved to the top of the frame.  In rapid back-and-forth dialogue like Han and Greedo, all dialogue is shifted to the top to prevent the viewer from having to repeatedly switch from reading the top to the bottom of the screen.

 

 

Also, I want burned-in subtitles for Greedo and Jabba, because I always remember that one particular typeface being used. The SE's and the GOUT don't have burned in subtitles for them, and it bothers the crap out of me that the typeface/position of the text doesn't match the theatrical release (The GOUT especially is annoying because it's letterboxed so the subs don't show when zoomed).

For me, those subs are part of the movie. They belong there.
