(namely TPM and ESB).

Very aware of the problems with TPM, but haven’t heard ESB used as an example of where the blu-rays hit their worst. Do you mind elaborating? I’m quite curious. The blue shift is intense and all but I don’t know how it’s any worse than the rest of the OT.

sidenote: I can’t figure out this text editor for shit anymore and it makes me feel hella old.

The DNR on ESB is the worst of any of the OT. During the escape from Cloud City, there’s a wide shot of the crew running back to the Falcon. Because of the aggressive DNR, parts of Leia’s legs are erased for a few frames. This occurs throughout the film and lots of important detail is lost.
