This is actually false! The BD contains the SE crawl and flyover, which was made in '97 and has the fast receding SW logo. The '81 crawl and flyover had a different starfield, whereas the '97 crawl has the same starfield as the '77 crawl, albeit shifted slightly upwards, so in order to "restore" the '81 crawl faithfully, one would have to recreate it or use a LD transfer for it and then you'd have to redo the flyover as well, because it was recomposited optically in '81 and has different matte lines than the '77 one and the '97 one, which was recomposited digitally. Plus the background has a slightly different look in the '81 version.

You could probably still use the '97 crawl, if you managed to separate it from the background, because I think what they did was that they wanted to recomposite the crawl and the flyover digitally for the SE, using the original elements, and they ended up using the original element of the '81 crawl and the original elements from '77 for everything else.

Stop blowing my mind!
