I reviewed hairy_hen's 5.1 and decided to compare it to both the original PCM and the 97 mix. So, I popped in my LD's and was surprised at how well the Faces ROTJ held up visually. Nowhere near the V3 or GOUT of course, but still not as bad as you would think.

The 97 image just blows it away. If the GOUT master could look like this without all of that smearing a heck of a lot of things would immediately be better. I've never gone straight from 93/95 to 97 but the jump in quality is readily apparent even on an old 4:3 TV. It just has that pink problem in Mos Eisley...because no official Star Wars release can ever be perfect let alone definitive.

Yeah, it's sad that they screwed up when they made the 97 SE video transfer of ANH, you also have some horrible blue tint in certain scenes. Haven't seen Jedi but I do remember that the '97 Empire looked beautiful and pretty much perfect on LD.
