Hmm, Editdroid is good, not my favorite, but as far as letterboxed transer it is most similar to the official release:

Editdroid's is a little more washed out in color I've noticed. For Star Wars anyway, but not fot Empire or Jedi.

I really like what Citizen has done with ANH, but I only have the Xvid version which I have converted to DVD9 and looks great. Haven't gotten Empire yet and it appears Jedi may never see the light of day, unfortunately.

I like OCP's Classic version a lot, but some of the LD footage sometimes stands out a little too much compared to the 04 DVD. ANH isn't completeley SE free, maybe 95-99%. But there is a difference in color balance between the OCP and the 04 DVD's and I prefer OCP's color coorections/balance as opposed tothe Crayola job done originally.

But for LD transfer, I would say that the ones done by Moth3r's for PAL and Dr M for NTSC are the best out there.
