Is the point that the DVD would have less compression without the lego demo? would'nt that depend on the quality of the master. We all know the d2 master looks like shit. at least as it is displayed on the final dvd.

I mean the dvd's look like they were taken from highly circulated 35mm film prints and not from an IP or the original negative.

George had to have better sources for the movies in his collection unless this is how bad all the prints and masters look.

Robert Harris believes Lucas to have pristine elements from the 1997 restoration.

Lucas and LFL's public comments to the contrary are that every film print, master and the original negative were all badly faded and unusable. and That the o-neg was altered physically in 1997.

The only non faded color reference Lucas had for 1977's Star Wars was his Technicolor dye transfer print. Which was unfaded but has not been scanned for dvd. This very same print had the 6 track magnetic sound as well. and is being kept locked up in his own private collection.

His kids can get it screened or watch it if they want. But the average dvd or home theater enthusiast is stuck with the gout.
