2 movies that look stunning on blu ray, and were probably designed with that in mind are clone wars 2008 movie and kingdom of the crystal skull, that says nothing of the films actual quality or plot however.

Clone Wars is EU and i don't think is pretends or masquerades as real star wars, whilst Indiana Jones IV pretends to be the real 4th movie but despite Harrison Ford and Karen Allen being in it the last canon Indy film is Last Crusade.

Lucas and Spielberg had a lot of fun making the movie and the actual behind the scenes stuff if better than the actual film.  I mean Lucas had tons of fun making the prequels and they still sucked.

He had no fun making the originals or mostly no fun because it was a painful experience for him.

I am happy that he is happy with his 2004 trilogy cut as an artist.  Not too pleased with his treatment of the original versions of the films however.  They would require a lot of money and work.  the 2004 is pretty much ready for Blu Ray, it just needs to be properly color corrected and the audio needs to be fixed, matte lines removed etc.

The first film was in the worst shape.  The negative had degraded so far, the film was made on unstable filmstock, this was prior to lpp which jedi is probably the only film that has not severely faded. LPP arriving late in 1982.  Star Wars according to Robert Harris had a lot of cri stock in the oneg.  Aka Color Reversal Internegative.
