I sorta figured it'd be too jarring, but I just wondered if anyone had given it a try or messed with it. I sorta wondered if it'd be easier to slightly dumb down the DVD footage to achieve a better match. That'd eliminate a lot of issues with ghosting and stair step correction needed for the vast majority of the films. But by the looks of your results it's obvious that you know what you are doing.

By the way Zion, The Empire menus are impressive but the general jerks around somewhat. I know it's an early draft but I just wanted to point that out in case you hadn’t noticed it. Also I think the hollow font is a little crunchy. In the animated opening, the S and Rs have issues and I wanted to point you to this resource in case you hadn't seen it before. I assume you used After Effects to do that and I'm not sure if you manually drew the lettering or used a pre-existing font. The hollow font at this site looks dead on.

:Edit: Actually the hollow font link is broken and I did find a better one but it's a $15 font. It's available here

I figured the font info at the first site would also be useful for subtitling to keep the fonts as close to the LDs as possible. Oh on the note of subtitling, some people are die-hard purists... Where do you stand on the spelling errors in the Jabba subtitles from Jedi? Do you consider fixing the spelling of Wookiee a problem? I personally don't think so, but some people are funny that way.
