A New Hope looked like it was made in the '70s again.

It's pretty sad that it takes a blu-ray released in 2011 to just bring the quality of the OT back up to the standards of 34 years ago... doesn't say much about the 2006 GOUT release, does it?

Although, that being said, I'm sure a number of people here would disagree with that comment, and tell you that the films as they were presented in theatres in 1977, 1980, and 1983 are superior to what we're seeing on the blu-rays.

Well, I didn't say it looked better than in theatres, I just said it looked like it was shot on film again, and it looks undeniably 1970s. Which I appreciate. But remember also that traditional projection also masked a lot of flaws in a lot of movies which HD now exposes, so I think that says a lot about how "good" movies looked in theatres back then (and I've been watching movies in the cinema since the late 1970s).
