First, do you have a link to just this Lucasfilm fanfare? I, obviously, did not participate in the digital versions, so I don’t know what you are referring to. Nevermind, I found it; it sucks.
Second, what makes you say they would, pre 2020, put “Episode IV: A New Hope” in the crawl? The GOUT didn’t have it, and that was the most recent official original version put out under Lucasfilm/Fox.
