I've never really noticed before. The picture quality looks great on my HD TV, aside from red-ish skin in one scene on Tatooine.

Looks like some people need to watch Star Wars ANH revisited by adywan, the best fanedit ever, the colors look great and plenty of surprises. It looks very professional too!

Maybe it's supposed to be Star Wars Noir?

I have never thought about this but I wish Lucas had used the same cinematogropher for all the OT movies the way he used the same one for all the PT movies.

I found the VHS THX trilogy picture quality very dark. I don't really care anymore, I haven't watched those editions in years.

I think they wanted to keep it sort of dark on the heels of Epi.III.
