Those strips show off the superiority of the 35mm and further underline how all the video versions have paled in comparison to the theatrical prints. This may be the only way to get fine detail back in the SE.

The G'kar is heavily filtered, and was going to be used as the base ROTJ for MR's superset because the TB version was very soft and noisy.

Of the LD captures, LeeThorogood's PAL version looked great in samples, but I never saw the whole thing. The superiority of PAL LD technology really helps, especially in motion, and you don't have to deal with de-interlacing. I think that this is really the best LD image that is possible.

The samples posted by DJ on his SE LD capture V2 thread were also quite good for NTSC LD footage.

Also, for ANH at least you may want to see if some copies have this phenomenon I noticed: http://originaltrilogy.com/forum/topic.cfm/97SE-Pink-Tint/topic/12667/
