Did a little experiment: Took your "Episode IV" crawl screen, and converted it to various formats.

BMP: 1.37MB, uncompressed, edges sharp
JPG: 139kB, lossy compressed, edges blurry
PNG: 23kB, losslessly compressed, edges sharp

That is why converting first is best, and why you should not convert "cartoon-like" line art to JPG.
