If these are grabs from a DVD, which their precise resolution suggests, then JPEG compression should be the only quality factor to take into consideration (unless they've been analogue captured, which I doubt), but the DVD menus do look a little bit on the poor side if that's true. There's also a lot more vignetting (darkening at the edges, like the ESB menu) than there should be in the shot of the Star Destroyer over Tatooine when you compare it to various LD preservation screenshots. I have my suspicions that the images have been matted with black after resizing, if they came from a DVD capture, which seems an odd thing to do.

I also don't think the vertical resize can be entirely to blame for the menu's fuzziness.

The DVD menus do stick almost exactly to the 10% text safe area standards, just like the 2004 DVDs, if that means anything.
