Yes, there are a lot of cadence errors in the interlacing on the LD. But I don't think that would actually carry over to a progressive-transfered DVD. If the errors caused the problems, then the entire film after the first cadence error would be off and about 1-3 of every 5 frames would be interlaced. I'm going to guess that Lucasfilm said hell with IVTC and are putting this out interlaced. I hope I'm wrong, but then again, there's always the PAL version.
