the 2006 GOUT Star Wars 1977 is an absolute disgrace it looks awful even on my non widescreen television.
Smearing and artifacting everywhere, this was a problem during the premiere of the dvd player with there being only single layer movies from laserdisc masters, but in 2006 when there are stellar anamorphic movies out unacceptable.
not only is the 2004 set ruined by bad mixing on a new hope, apparent matte boxes visible, cgi that don't belong in a seventies or eighties movie, and poor color correction. they also ruined the 2006 bonus disc by using a bad master tape from 1993.
it is an absolute joke that the only watchable copy i have of a new hope is fan produced, and has pal speedup. Moth3r's. I heard citezens was better but that is not available as far as i know except through trades.
in Moth3r's pal star wars episode IV: a new hope you can see the starfield that seems to have been lost in all the ntsc home video releases.
