A lot will depend if Lucasfilm are using the master that would have been created *before* they did the shoddy dirt/noise removal algorithm that threw all the detail away on the THX LD releases. If it is the pressing master then unfortunately all the trails and smearing will be in there and I would expect to get a better experience on the X0 release.
