This is low-key the most important change to the original trilogy. It even comes bundled with a snazzy new Lucasfilm logo. The new intro features red and blue flashing lights, with iconic characters such as Darth Vader, C-3PO, R2-D2, and even The Mandalorian flashing up on-screen. It’s added as a tag on all Star Wars shows and movies on Disney Plus and lasts just 20 seconds.

There’s even a new intro – and one you might already be familiar with if you’ve already watched The Mandalorian premiere. On some of the first pressings of the Star Wars soundtrack on vinyl, the Fox opening was the first track. Fun fact: George Lucas made sure the opening Star Wars crawl music was in the same key as the Fox fanfare so that the two would seamlessly blend into each other. Thankfully, this one isn’t anywhere near as controversial as the Greedo changes – and might even get some nostalgia points from the older crowd. The Fox logo and trumpets were removed when Disney bought LucasFilm. The iconic 20th Century Fox fanfare, which preceded original showings of the Star Wars trilogy, has been restored for its Disney Plus re-release. The lack of subtitles for the line – as Greedo speaks Huttese in the scene – only makes it stand out more, but it’s ultimately only a minor change.

So, it appears to be a new edit from George Lucas that has only now seen the light of day on a wider scale. So, what gives? Disney told The Verge it was a change “made by George made prior to the Disney acquisition.” This time, just before firing off a shot, he says something that sounds like “Maclunkey.”
