Well aside from the obvious resolution issue, I like the way it represents the way it looked in theaters as far as having the grain, scratches and image instability. To me part of the point of having this on DVD is to preserve how we used to have to watch it. Unless you were there when it was first unspooled, these issues were present to varying degrees even in the theater.

Agreed with CO, that's total bullshit that it represents the way it looked in theaters. It never had all that grain and crap when it was first projected on screens back then. You don't know what you're talking about, Gomer.
CO is dead-on-balls correct on the Star Destroyers looking blue in the original prints. I had a Betamax bootleg of ESB that was recorded in the theaters during the original run of the film. I watched the living shit out of that bootleg all throughout the 80s and those Star Destroyers were damn blue!!! I have an absolute 100% clear motherfucking memory of that, Gomer. Clueless.
