... They are not even optical effects there to account for the low image quality, just a shoddy transfer that is inexcusable in 2006 tech.
Perhaps it is done to make the blue ray releases "incredible".
I said it in another topic: GL didn't want to release SW on DVD at the origin, waiting for a better format. The blue ray technology was planned since back in 1983 and myself as a kid knew about that. I sold the magazine where Lucas told about it just one year ago... I would have translated this article in english here if I still had it (can't find a .pdf!).
I'm amazed nobody seems to know anything about that.
