First of all, I watched Star Wars on my computer, with a 15.4" hi-def widescreen and zoomed in. The zooming didn't really affect the picture quality as far as I'm concerned. I'm sure it would look much better on a standard definition TV. As I guessed, the grain wasn't as noticeable in a lot of the scenes on the Death Star. Something else I noticed was how a lot of lines in the picture ended up very jagged-y. I'm not sure of the terminology for that. And as long as I'm on the subject, what is aliasing?
I, too, had the layer change. I knew it was there, because it was there on the '04 DVDs as well. It makes me sad that I'm almost used to it by now, and when I don't get a slight pause, it throws me off.
Unlike some others, my subtitles aren't quite cut off. The very bottom of the second line is, but nothing is unreadable. Of course, if they just left the subtitles burned into the original picture in the original font, then we wouldn't have problems like this in the first place! Honestly, this is my biggest gripe. I hate that.
In regards to the red line on the screen, I haven't watched Empire yet. But as long as the subject is up, I noticed a blue line on the edge of the frame in two scenes, both of which are part of the planet Yavin. If you're watching on a standard TV, I'm sure you wouldn't be able to see it at all, as I know it would be part of the overscan area, but if you watch it on a computer or an LCD screen, has anybody else noticed this?
Well, I think that's it. I really enjoyed the movie and was so into it by the Battle of Yavin that I didn't really notice anything bad about the picture anymore.

My biggest problems are the horrible ghosting and and the aliasing. other than that they are pretty good.
P.S. My copy of ESB has more grain than Star Wars.
