There's a great 15-part documentary, made just a couple years ago, that TCM has been showing another installment of every Monday called The Story of Film: An Odyssey. Mark Cousins wrote, directed and narrated this amazing history of - what else - motion pictures, going all the way back to Edison and the Lumiere Brothers.
Empire is randomly referenced about 48 minutes into the very first chapter (the scene between Vader and Ozzel is given as a good example of the 180-degree rule from sixty years after it was first used) and then again, halfway through chapter five, talking about Lea Brackett's contributions to the Noir genre and how Luke finding out Vader's his father was a very noir idea in a very mainstream movie. Both instances could've been using the '04 master but I can't really tell since neither clip had changes (and my memory of the different color timings is spotty).
Chapter eleven, about pop culture exploding around the world in the 70's, covers The Exorcist, Jaws and then Star Wars in the last few minutes. The crawl is the '77 version, and the rest seems to be taken from the GOUT as well, so they must've cropped it to 16:9.
The entire 15-part series is up on Netflix, so if anyone has access they can give their opinion on where the clips are sourced from.
