Is the HD version for The Phantom Menace any better than the official DVD does it still have edge enhancement and bad dvnr?

IS it the theatrical version?

Or is the best quality for that version the DVB standard def from pal land or as it has been called the TB release.

 

Just wondering since the Phantom Menace was shot on 35mm motion picture film at a 2:35:1 anamorphic cinemascope aspect ratio.  There should be lots of fine detail and film grain.

The transfer of Episode 1 Theoretically should yield four times the resolution of The crappy HDCam shit they did on Episodes II and III.

I'm surprised Nobody has used the 14 gig version and recut it to the theatrical and rip the ac3 from the japanese laserdisc for the theatrical audio.  The dolby digital EX track. 

Hell even the standard 2 channel stereo mix on that disc blows the dvd's mix out of the water, as it is uncompressed PCM and the original mix and superior to the home audio mix they cooked up for the dvd release. 

Lucas never gives the fans what they want if he did the 1997 versions of the trilogy would be on dvd with the 6 track dts mix heard in theaters.

I have read him  talking about the superior Magnetic soundtrack release on the 1977 version of Star Wars.  The 70mm 6 track.  This was in the future of the Movies book by Siskel and Ebert.  Yet that is not on dvd, makes me so irrated and furious.  Imagine if we got the originals restored from the O-neg used for the 70mm versions and the 6 track mag tracks for all three films.
