This grain issue is really odd. That shot of the back of the stormtropper makes it very obvious.

Speculation:
- this is too much grain to be film grain
- it looks like single-pixel noise, "as if" added in post
- my guess is that the Telecine was quite crappy, and added this noise for one reason or another
- and that the LD mod-demod smooths out the fine noise because it can't resolve single pixels from the D1 master.
