I have noticed the following several times while watching the same scene
on a few different prints of Star wars Ep 1. It is near the beginning of the
film, where Jedi Liam Neeson and his apprentice Obi-Wan Kenobi were
running through the forest and all of the animals are running around as
well, fleeing from the oncoming machinery. At one scene where it shows
some animals quickly moving from the left side of the screen to the right
(they are a little blurry) I can swear that I can see digital blockiness and
perhaps even digital motion artifacts (similar to MPEG or DVD video --
both have tons of crappy digital/motion artifacts). Anybody else notice
this? I think this is really bad for a "major" motion picture!

It just makes you look forward to the next two episodes, shot, mastered,
and presented in Digital!
