Yes. I have seen stills and a clip of SW in 1080p. Looks amazing. I am not sure what the source was. But it works.

If the link doesn't work copy and paste it into your address bar.

The detail on Yoda is amazing.

They have been restored already. That's what the the Special Editions were all about, besides the new scenes & FX.

I agree. I was pleasantly suprised.

You can download the two trilogies in 1080p on torrent sites. It will just take a few months depending on your internet connection. lol

The image comparison is interesting, but I can't honestly say the 1080 image is better.
The picture looks brighter in an unnatural way. The blacks in the previous image look darker & more cinematic - better contrast. Extra details & sharpness? Don't see it.

Look at Yoda's ears, you can see the material they used for the puppet. Focus on eyes and especially Princess Leia's skin. You can see every skin pour in detail.

Click on the seperate images to get it actual size...then do the comparison...you should see a huge difference.

This is something I've noticed a lot, looking at demonstrations of HD & Blu-ray discs at the stores. The picture is quite sharp & clear, but it doesn't look film-like. It's so digitized it makes me think more of video games, looking at the colours.

I have an HDTV. But because I wasn't yet sold on Plasma or LCD, I went with another option called Slimtube. It's a regular CRT TV that got reduced in size by a third, but expanded out to 16:9 ratio. It actually has certain advatages over Plasma or LCD, in that it shows deeper blacks & natural contrast better than other HD technology, and still being a glass tube in a box, has justs one light source. You can watch it from any angle and the picture doesn't disappear. Only a few companies made them (Samsung, Sony, Panasonic), and no picture was bigger than 40 inches because the sets got extremely big & heavy. Anyway...
my HD picture with my HDMI DVD player still looks quite film-like. I'm still not willing yet to plunge into Blu-ray, while I have a choice.

I actually have never watched Episodes IV - VI on DVD. I had the laserdiscs on the Special Editions for years, and have managed to hold out. This new box set coming in November - maybe now I'll plunge.

I can imagine back in the 70's-80's they didn't really expect such high res video thus they didn't confiscate for that. But it still looks fine to me.

About the brightness and contrast some of you bring up, that is more than likely the TV not the Blu-Ray source. TVs have different contrast/brightness settings. Examples excluding custom settings would be "standard" "vivid" "movie" etc.

And yet, Terminator was great despite the make up.

Indeed. A worthy HD film, filmed in non HD, Dirty Harry in Blu-ray is amazing and its older than Star Wars... go figure...

With HD you can see even every pore. Thus my fantasies about the characters are ever more so realistic.
