Good, we don't have to wait for Lucas's lazy ass to get the blu-ray out.
I would think that official Blu-Ray releases from LFL would look way better than anything shown on TV thus far, especially if they were done right. ;)
Despite everyone's varying opinions on his editing choices in the films themselves, Lucas's Star Wars DVD releases were looked to as a standard in both DVD package/menu design and media quality. I think some of them even won some awards. When Lucasfilm puts the time into releasing a proper package, they do an excellent job.
Also, just watched the new clip, and there's some great stuff in there. I'm not sure if it's just me, but Obi-Wan's ghost looks a little jittery in places, almost as though he's either playing at a different framerate than the rest of the scene, or that his head and body are from different sources, and slightly out of sync with one another. I haven't gone and looked at it frame by frame (though I can go back, rewatch, and get more specific if you want), but that was the impression as I watched it. There was a similar jittery-ness in the opening Cloud City shot's clouds (though that aside, seeing it in motion is great, and it looks fantastic), though I know it's still a temp shot.
Hope this helps; thanks again for all the fine work you have and are putting into all of this.
Take care,
Sojourn
