Because the OT wasn't HD...
No, it wasn't. It was 35mm film. Only Episode II and Episode III are HD.
But yeah, the OT, in its original form, has more than enough detail for HD, and would look even better than Episodes II and III.
But we don't have the OT in HD. We have the 2004 SE in HD. We have the OT in letterboxed SD.
What he was saying is that it has more detail than the letterboxed SD OT that we do have. Which is true.
