IMO, ESB and RotJ are better.
They've still got their brightness and color timing tweaked with for home viewing, but they don't have the chroma shift/bleed/smear/whatever that ANH has.
Are you sure that's not a 3D comb filter artifact?
I haven't seen any smearing with my JSC ANH and my eyes are pretty sensitive to that kind of artifact.
