It is not present in the DC. I can't say for sure about the faces. I only own esb(faces).

Isn't it the general consensus that the DC and Faces discs are the same, except that one is CAV and one is CLV? They are from the same masters, I believe (as is the GOUT).

Not that this answer of mine has any bearing on althor1138's original question. But it depends on what pressing of the DC you own. At least one shot utilizes another source on early pressings of the DC (lightsaber shot in Ben's Hut). While the replacement seen on the Faces LD and the Bonus Feature DVD fixed a quite severe case of DVNR, it introduced another flaw here which is incorrect aspect ratio. But on the other hand those early DC pressings lacked the "Leia welding scene" in ESB among other things, so it's more of an early production flaw than a "true difference."

Ridiculously enough, the tranfers on the LD's overall displays slightly more vertical detail compared to the Bonus Feature DVD's and if we're going to be even more picky, different amounts of complete frames. And the LD's of course contains the 1981 re-release crawl on the first film. The latter might be enough to some collectors.

When it comes to SW don't underestimate to what lenght some people are willing to go to get these minor differences in sound and picture. Personally I have to say that I have more understanding of people buying these old LD releases, despite the easy availability of that Bonus Feature and Fan Edits, than I can ever get for those who buy the 2011 BD release.
