I've only had a quick glimpse of SW SE so far, and it also looked very good, though a bit softer than SW '77, which I'm guessing is due to the LD source(?)
First of all thanks for your nice review! Anyway, the source for the SE is the TB version. It's a digital broadcast which is not perfect and does have some compression artefacts too. We did our best to make it look as good as possible.
I got to watch the rest of SW SE last night; I had to skip the Mos Eisley/cantina scenes, though...I just...can't. :-P In any case, it actually looked much better (sharper) than my initial impression. It's very obvious to me now that it couldn't have been from an LD source---I don't know why I didn't see that right away.
I did notice some of the compression artifacts you mentioned (an occasional smeary effect on moving/panning objects?) but overall it looked excellent. Great job on both versions! :-D
Additionally, I listened to the '97 PCM 2.0 track on the SE and it sounded wonderful. Also the extras and menus on both discs were great/unique, as were the cases.
Thanks again!
