I believe this shot is near a reel change, too, so end-of- or beginning-of-reel damage could account for the sound and picture glitches on this occasion.

No, this shot is the first shot in the film after the opening flyover sequence, I think you mistook it for the later transitional shot to Tatooine, I recall the audio was a little wonky around that point in the older releases. Might sound that way due to the frames that went missing there.

i've noticed that there are bright lines at the top

of the screen during some of the optical shots..

like the leia hologram and lightsaber shots..

this goes on for the duration of the whole scenes..

is that on any of the laserdisc/vhs releases?

here's one frame of the leia hologram:

and here's one of lukes first use

of the light saber..

None, you who are interested in unintended objects appearing on the transfers might find this funny or interesting:

What did those dirty fingers do on our Star Wars! we should track down this person. ;) The fingerprint appears on the Special Collection LD transfer.

here's the burn marks for star wars

reel 2:

In all pre 2004 versions of this shot, the stormtrooper passing near the camera seems to have been affected by some composition error where something was scribbled over one of the composite elements. Check it out, there's clearly a sign saying something like B FFET 23 over his path:

Just so people get what damage me and TServo were talking about:

it appears throughout at least one reel, and looks like some kind of damage caused by liquid. The above images are taken from the Special Collection (X9-transfer).

Someone made a transfer of the Special Collection Laserdisc using the X9 player?

Yes, Grinder, Arnie.d and Darth_Mallwalker made this possible: http://originaltrilogy.com/forum/topic.cfm/The-X9-Project/topic/10685/

Also, check out Arnie.d's excellent "V8-DVD" of ANH - JSC and the fantastic work of althor1138: http://originaltrilogy.com/forum/topic.cfm/Japanese-Special-Collection-Trilogy-Laserdisc-Preservation/topic/15283/

As I have nothing more productive to do in my free time I decided to check this out and to me it looks like the line in the middle says: B PFTT. 23

The glare from the stormtrooper helmet in one of the frames makes the T look like an E. Under it, it looks like it says B-7 or 3-7, the line above them is impossible to make out but there seems to be a letter M in there. Something like this:

            M
B PFTT. 23
       B-7

Someone should make a t-shirt of that. :)
