Star Wars on LD does show it age as a old movie. And MPEG 2 play back might not look so good after the capture of the video. If your making your own set play back the DVD in a new DVD player. My E80 makes the video look just like the LD. But when I play it back in my Pioneer JVC or APEX the color pop out very nice. My LD's look very nice if you just watch the LD's but you do see a drop when you have play them back on my E80. It does not look bad. But when you play it back in another DVD player that fixs the black level problem that Laer Disc has the color pop of the screen so nice. so play your Star Wars in other DVD players
