So Adywan, are the OT versions just the '04 SEs or are they your revisited versions. Either way it looks like you still did the color modifications that fit the OOT better. How can these be HD without blu-ray? I thoght SD format is not capable of HD, you gotta get blu-ray to do that, or HD DVD, but that is obsolete now.

They can be HD in the same way Wookiegroomer's releases were HD.  HD (hi-def) is a resolution, not a format.  It starts at 720p and goes up to 1080p (considering only consumer level here guys, don't tear me apart :)).

SD (standard def) isn't capable of HD beyond doing "upconversion".  What ady's doing is color correcting the HD broadcasts in AVC format.  If you just want an HD version of Star Wars, Wookiegroomer's version looks excellent.  It's WMV files with the VC-1 codec, so they play perfectly on an Xbox or even on a Windows XP/Vista PC.
