The SW set is likely sharper and cleaner, and I guess that's the main thing people expect out of Blu-ray. They said the same thing about the DVDs in 2004 too. The clarity is impressive, I have to admit, that's the one thing the transfer always had going for it.

But yeah, the Close Encounters set has way better picture, overall.

Well obviously the Close Encounter's Blu ray has better picture than the Star Wars DVD!

But the Star Wars DVD has way better picture than the Close Encounter's DVD(which was made in 2001 and is afflicted by the same "noise" problems as the Phantom Menace)!
