Interesting that there was an actual splice at the Han shooting scene. I knew you guys replaced it with the Eastman version, but didn’t know why.
As it’s the only one missing, do you suspect that it was intentionally removed and sold/kept separately for some reason?
This was a Spanish print. The Opening Crawl and Greedo’s Subtitles were therefore in Spanish. The previous owner of the print spliced in English versions of both scenes from another print, which was on inferior stock and faded red…
Doh, that should have been obvious. Thanks Rob.
