Is the picture quality any better on this set than the other region releases? I know I had read the the Japan pressing of the Faces set wasn't as good as the U.S. release which surprised me greatly considering.
The PAL laserdiscs are from a different master - you can see by the different framing (some shots are more zoomed in) and different colour grading (Tatooine's sand is a redder brown rather than yellow). The image is better in many respects - less dirt on the film, less aggressive DVNR, fewer jaggies and less gate weave.
