One thing that you can't see from the Star Wars clips is the telecine wobble, which is quite distracting. There's a lot of grain, and many, many film artefacts. On the plus side, the colours are less cartoonish than the 2004 releases and the audio isn't screwed. The sequels do look better than SW does, which is to be expected. Try these links.

I am at home and able to see them at MF.com, and man, is that wobble DISTRACTING!!! Why the heck would they leave it like that?!?
Uh oh, I just watched the ESB and ROTJ clips there too and there is a slight wobble on them also (though no where near as great as the SW opening crawl). And you are right, Mentasm, there is A LOT of noticeable grain (FYI I am viewing them on my 17" LCD monitor), so I can only imagine how noticeable it will be on my WS TV...
The jury is still out for me and I will probably need to do what I suggested in another thread: rent them first and watch them on my TV before I make my decision.
