Probably better than any previous NTSC release. The PAL laserdisc transfers are probably the only thing better, at least until the X0 project. Star Wars and Empire look a lot clearer than my cowclops anamorphic bootleg and the black bars are really black. I didn't get Jedi because that film already looks pretty clear and the parts in Jabba's Palace that look murky (like Lapti Nek) are likely resulting from the DVNR.
Looking at both my bootlegs or the official discs, Empire may actually be in the worst shape. Star Wars has gotten a lot of talk about being in such bad shape but it seems that mostly, it was just the Tunisia scenes that faded or accumulated a lot of dirt. Empire it seems has a lot of noise and grain all over the place.
A lot of people have mentioned the Editdroid disc as being a good bootleg. Is that version included in the screenshot comparisons?
