All I'm asking for is a movie that has all the quality of Harmy's edition, except with the words "Episode IV A New Hope" in the opening crawl. I shouldn't need to request that a whole new fan project be started just to make this one little change.
There are other fan projects that swap out the crawl for versions with other languages, so it's not too much of a stretch to think someone might do the same for the alternate crawl/flyover, for example:
In response to Gogogadget, if you can do that and make it seamless with no loss of any quality, I would adore that.
...and there you go. A whole new project requested and potentially started. I'd watch out for starfield incongruity, though. I'm not sure there are any copies of the '81 crawl and flyover without obliterated starfields.
I apologize I didn't know you weren't looking for the VHS look all-around. Your dissatisfaction with the brightness of the theatrical version in at least one scene led me to believe (incorrectly) that you might prefer the colors of home video releases to the theatrical colors.
