It may not as crisp as the bluray but defiantly better than broadcast TV or VHS tape! Which is the way most have watched the non SE's. I even think it superior to standard DVD's.

I grew up watching some TV broadcast recordings on VHS in 4:3 pan & scan, so this sure is a nice upgrade for the original unaltered trilogy!

I wouldn't say it's superior to standard DVDs though. Since the source has so much jagged edges, it can still be seen a little even if downscaling it to DVD resolution, even though they've been greatly reduced.

PS. The snapshots do look very nice. Hurry up and getter done already, wink wink...

I really do wish we could just clap our hands and it'd be ready. :)

Unfortunately it's such a long process with all the cleanup. I think that's necessary though, because the contrast and colors have been increased so much that all the downsides are also much more visible.
