Those clips look fine indeed.

But still the Phantom Menace won't be the theatrical.  Won't have the theatrical audio will have those added scenes and a new badly added cgi yoda.

 

I hope its only because of the lowres on the trailer, but the phantom menace scenes look not very well detailed as if there is too much dvnr.

And i still say that it looks over saturated and like video and not filmlike because of theire being little to no grain and overly bright colors, but to each their own.

I did not see Phantom in DLP so perhaps this is how it is supposed to look. Overly soft and colors too bright was a symptom of the prequels if i remember.  So they did the same with the 2004 original trilogy to match which was horrendously done.

They probably only did a 1080 or 2k scan at the most for menace when because the effects were rendered at a fixed resolution.  But the film itself should be scanned ,i mean the o-neg,at least at 4k.

The oot should be scanned in at least 4k, if not 8k like Wizard of Oz. 

All  I know from Zombies article is that the saga is stuck in less than film quality because of Lucas.  DLP and video are garbage and no substitute for the real thing.

But then can get as close as possible if they scan at a high enough resolution and do no dvnr on the blu ray.

I mean the original King Kong Blu ray looks almost as good or better than a release print, if only some scenes look very dupy because of stop motion and its limitations.
