The top one looks better to me, as the colors are better, the picture is sharper and it is not as blurry (althought the darkened colors wash out the tie fighters quite a bit). I am guessing the top one is the '04 version?
I have been noticing A LOT of changes in the '04 versions when compared with the '77 versions and that makes me feel a little better about things. What I am getting at: during the restoration process (or immediately after) a lot of the shots were changed digitally, hence there really is some truth to what is said and there really is no actual digital transfer of the OOT. But I HIGHLY doubt that there aren't cleaned up prints somewhere, and I don't believe a word of what Lucas says about that.
And I must admit that a lot of the really technical discussions are going WAY over my head. But one question: how hard is it to make a DVD anamorphic? Is it something fairly easy to do, or does it take a lot of time?
