When I now own this Smear-free '93 LD myself, I must say that Star Wars or A New Hope in this case, have never looked better on video than it does on this transfer in terms of colors, nice vibrant colors close to how the '82 LD transfer looked but better and more consistent. In addition to that, you don't have those ugly glue marks every second like the JSC have.

But as always when it comes to these films on video, there's some problems, otherwise it wouldn't be SW, right? ;) The transfer have blown out white levels in a few scenes which the JSC transfer don't have, and as already shown on the screen-caps it loses some picture info, mostly on the sides due to different cropping compared to both the JSC and GOUT. Also, even though this transfer overall have amazing colors, I noticed a few color issues in some spots, in the battle above the Death Star - colorless TIE lasers in one scene for example. But this is all mostly nitpicking.

This is definitely the best transfer of ANH on LD IMHO. If you have a Laserdisc player and love this film, do yourself a favor and track this down.
