Really?....perhaps some of just choose to actually watch the film instead of constantly bitching about those details.

Nah, I get vbangle's point. The starfield doesn't look that great. But guess what? - - starfields have NEVER looked good on any home release. Not in Star Wars, not in Close Encounters, not in 2001 or in any other film. They look fantastic on the big screen, in 70mm projection ... but are washed out, faded, with maybe 40% of the stars showing on your TV. That's just life outside of the movie theater.

Maybe when everything is reissued in HD, it will be different.

But I'm not holding my breath.

And, yeah, I'm watching the movie and not nitpicking the details of pixels and how many stars are in the upper, right quadrant.

btw, I was one of the people who was not pleased when they removed the film grain from Star Wars. It was never a pristine-looking movie, and anything a smidge better than the laserdiscs will be just fine by me.
