Those look nice but you can't make HD out of DVD and LD sources. LaserDisc has about as many lines of resolution as VHS tape (about 240 lines), and DVD is 480 lines maximum.

After reading through the source list my guess is they're using those HD copies for the bulk of the movie only splicing in the upscaled SD content if there's nothing else to use.
I can't imagine how many hours of effort this took, color correction is an extremely time-consuming process. Weaponized autism at it's finest!
Thanks for the tip I'm going to grab this and have a look. I've got the original trilogy on LaserDisc in my collection, going to pull it and compare with the new BluRay releases.
