So what's the deal with everybody getting a hand cut off? Is that a symbolism I don't know?
They sure look good on blu-ray, particularly the newest ones. I don't really understand those who are not satisfied with cinema video quality, these films were made with some of the earliest cinema-resolution video cameras ever created (they were even prototypes developed in concert with LucasFilm), and the result looks just great to me.

No, they're very bad, and I'm not even much of a Star Wars fan. When I saw Phantom Menace I was looking at my watch every few minutes - I couldn't imagine doing that with the originals if I had been alive to see them.
The effects still hold up very well, but it definitely lacks the feel of the real thing - it looks like a very well done video game. For a video game, that's fine. For this, not so much.
Part of the problem, too, is that because of the use of the green screen you have a kind of soap opera or sitcom feel - a good chunk of it is people sitting on couches, and alternating between Camera 1 and Camera 2.
There are a few moments that are decent, most the lightsaber battles, but even those have a too-choreographed look to them, the less polished stuff from Empire and Jedi is much better.
