The same digital laserdisc master they passed over using as a medium for restoration to put the films back in theaters, that is why they restored the negatives for the special edition. No SD video master would ever have been considered as a source for theatrical restoration, no matter how good it was (except maybe by boris
). The question is what makes a good home video version now. The DC master (note to eros: "DC" stands for "Definitive Collection", sometimes also shortened to "DefCol") is arguably the best existing video source. If you look at bactaOT's screencaps (note to eros: "screencaps" is an abbreviation of "screen captures," which refers to the result of the process of capturing a frame of video or extracting a frame from already captured video) above you'll see that the DC version looks better than the '04 DVD (note to eros: "'04" is an abbreviation referring to the year "2004"; "DVD" initially stood for "Digital Video Disc", later upgraded to "Digital Versatile Disc"). Why? Because the DC looks like Star Wars, whereas the '04 looks like the PT (note to eros: "PT" stands for "Prequel Trilogy," a term used to collectively refer to "Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace", "Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones" and "Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith").

Yes, that's a great idea...wait a minute....I have the definitive collection laserdisc set, which looks like shit but it's the best you can get on a ntsc laserdisc player.
