Hey folks, I have a question.

I've had my 2X400ft digest for years and think that I may have seen a different Digest version recently.

There was an auction for part 1 on ebay, (that just recently ended), and I noticed with the photo's on the auction, that the main title "The Empire Strikes Back" is the fade off into the distance moving title, while my digest has the generic title that doesn't move at all.

Was there an earlier or later version with the main title that moved off into the distance. If so, was it an earlier or later edition?

There were certainly two slightly different versions of reel 1 but I never noticed if the titles were different. One version has a couple of short extra scenes in it but the only one I can recall off the top of my head is the ending of reel one is longer... the shorter one fades out as the Millennium Falcon somersaults into the crater on the asteroid but the longer one carries on and shows it flying into the cave.
