It is definately amazing how far technology has advanced in the last 20 years. Hell, in the last 10 years its amazing. In 1996, DVD was not big at all. VHS was the video format, but 10 years later, VHS is completely dead. DVD is at its peak and hi-def is coming onto the field. It's amazing the video quality we see nowadays. If I went back 10 years ago and showed someone a DVD, they'd probably think they were high or something. But the most shocking thing would be that we would be acheiving it in 10 years.

The new Star Wars DVD's aren't horrible, in fact, I enjoy them a lot and am perfectly satisfied with them. Does that mean they are state of the art? Not even close. We should be getting a brilliant hi-def master with a remastering fit for a film like Star Wars.
