Can't yet give a very critical review. The picture is fairly nice on my version. A curious wavy-pixellation thing during the darker sequences that is likely the result of the compression down to 4.7GB (I assume), but still, this is probably the cleanest transfer currently in existence. It's the first time I've really been able to sit and watch the OT since the SEs came out, and I'm re-discovering my love for certain things while appreciating some of George's changes at the same time. Mos Eisley is too doggone busy in the SE and I am now appreciating the original version in this entire sequence because of the sparseness. Smugglers could really hide out there, just like in some no-name Mexican town. The sparseness serves the story better. And in Jedi, I still love Lapti-Nek and roll my eyes at Yub Nub.
