Does anybody know if the closing jump really was in ESB originally. I myself didn't see the Trilogy until 1997, with the SE of ANH and the original (P&S) of ESB and Jedi.

Now, in the Theatrical Cut of ESB, I believe, the closing shot had the Rebel Fleet jump to lightspeed just before it irised down to the closing credits. Now this was supposedly removed from the 1995 THX(Faces) set, but I have no way to verify this. Are there any earlier sources to confirm this secret edit.

IMDB's "Alternate Version" page, for ESB

I would personally like to se a release of the Trilogy that is EXACTLY like the '77, '80, and '83 releases.

but that not going to happen unless somebody digs up the original theatrical prints.

PS. is the door "locked" or "secure"?
