I've noticed a tiny framing discrepancy between PAL and NTSC GOUT of SW before but my guess would be that for NTSC, they simply encoded the master as it was, whereas for PAL, since they had to resize it anyway, they decided to crop of the pillar boxing while they were at it.

I would suggest that since the crawl came from a new (and so likely HD or at least anamorphic) source, the PAL DVD should theoretically offer better resolution for that - should be an interesting comparrison (I don't have NTSC GOUT, so I can't do it myself).

As for Jedi, it is by far the best looking of the three GOUT masters, especially the PAL version, which, unlike the other two, actually seems to come from a PAL source.
