Intro crawl source from the german 2007 Premiere FHD broadcast of SE04?
Time

It seems to me that they were just sourced from the 97SE for ANH and ROTJ, and from the original release for ESB (save for the '97 “Es war einmal…” card). My guess as to why just comes down to the translated Krieg der Sterne logo before the crawl rolls up, and these were the best sources they had available for such a thing.

Worst Edit Ideas
Time

In TRoS, to foreshadow 3P0’s memory wipe, have the Palpatine clone’s memory only be backed up to around the end of RotS, (just casually trim anything about it being the original Palpatine’s spirit for maximum effect) so the history of the entire Galactic Civil War has to be explained to him in a long-winded, very talky scene that involves a lot of “what?”, “huh?”, and “I can’t hear you over our cool indoor lightning!”

Also, I loved Kate Bush before this show was a blip on the radar.

Me too.

Stranger Things did improve my opinion of ITC Benguiat (the title font). It’s got just the right amount of “edge” and swoops to it so that it doesn’t feel gimmicky.

I always thought of ITC Benguiat as “the Pulp Fiction credits font”.

Disney Plus should release all of the theatrical versions of the Star Wars movies on their service
Time

I mean, they have an unaltered print of ANH in their possession (evidenced by the Light and Magic docu-series), so it wouldn’t be hard to throw it out onto Disney+ unless they don’t like money (which is probably not true).

If they really want my money, they could make a big expensive 4k/Blu-Ray steelbook digibook fancy big etc. etc. set for each of the OT movies with a handful of versions each.
