The coffret trilogie did go through DVNR like the Faces set but I guess it's the best set the PAL-system can offer.

I'm pretty sure it's:

1994 No DVNR: http://www.lddb.com/laserdisc/31358/856235/Star-Wars:-Coffret-Trilogie:-Edition-Collector

1995 DVNR: http://www.lddb.com/laserdisc/35598/168035/Star-Wars:-Coffret-Trilogie

I "studied" both PAL and NTSC editions, and I discovered that the "pyramid" (can't remember if I found the name, or named it myself...) is DVNR-free, while all THX PAL has light DVNR, not even nearly to NTSC versions...

I think that if we set DVNR=0 to the "pyramid" set, and DVNR=100 for the DC (and Faces), the THX PAL versions should be set around 30 or 40, no more... there are only "traces" of it, and, with no direct comparison, one could argue there is no DVNR at all - as I did the first time I watched them...

The pre-THX one might be free from DVNR but as far as I know that one used an atrociously bad master. I assume the one seen in this post... http://originaltrilogy.com/forum/topic.cfm/Preserving-French-Original-Trilogy-ANH-V10-released-ESB-in-progress/post/577965/#TopicPost577965

...is the one you're referring to?

Yes, quality is quite low - apart the pink tint that, strangely, affects only parts of the movie, not all; maybe the only way to squeeze out more detail is the software decoder, because there are no high-end PAL laserdisc player, like HLD-X0 or X9, or even CLD-G7... the best we have is the Pioneer CLD-D925, that it's the PAL equivalent of CLD-606...
