I don't really have a problem with grand or understated. My problem with it, is that it takes focus away from the characters and story. To me, the scene is about Obi-Wan and Luke entering the city in kind of a 'here goes nothing' sense. The scene isn't about what some random Jawa happens to be doing at that time.
TR47 - I don't know the origin my Indy dvds, but they do have animated menus and I did get them about 2 years ago.
