There are two good copies of the 1997 SE already available. The most common being the "5 Star Collection" and another being the "LOOK / DTS Banner" edition. You can see a screen grab of each menu on this thread. Both feature good DD audio (dont use DTS on either version, as there are issues with the DTS tracks). The 5-Star might be a tad sharper than the other version, but it has the gamma turned up to high; preventing good black level from being obtained (unless you mess with your tvs settings). I personally prefer the "LOOK / DTS Banner" edition, as I don't want to mess with the tv's brightness/contrast to achieve good black level. But it's doesnt really matter as I prefer the original version. To see a mini review I did of these and a few other SW bootlegs, go here.

To me the best version out there is the TR47 original trilogy, but I haven't seen the anamorphic release of the original trilogy - so I can't comment on how that one compares with the TR47...
