Hey, kk650 - did you add grain to ANH, and if so what grain plugin/settings are you using? Just watched all of ANH, and my only complaint is that the grain is a bit strong in it. Is there a chance that added grain is conflicting with any grain that is already present?
No grain was added to Star Wars, all the grain you're seeing there is straight from the blu-ray.
What you're seeing is the somewhat static 'frozen' grain that was added by Lowry when they restored the Original Trilogy in 2004 and ended up on the blu-rays, it lacks that organic constantly changing feel of natural film grain. Hopefully the 4k remasters of the OT when they come out will fix that and have a nice natural looking organic grain structure.
