The issue being just low quality? Staggering?
If you use VLC or some other media player to play the video (VOB) file directly from the DVD, is the quality already crap?

the quality is just fine when playing from VLC directly on the disk. Its like static-y and blurry...similar to a poor quality buffering when streaming a video online.

Can you try something real quick. Instead of handbrake, let's try ffmpeg to do mostly the same thing:
ffmpeg -i VOB_FILE_ON_YOUR_DVD.VOB -map 0:v:0 -map 0:a:0 -c:v libx264 -crf 18 -preset slower -tune film -profile:v main -x264opts force-cfr=1 -r ntsc -c:a copy OUTPUT_FILENAME.mp4
Replacing the vob file path and output filename with your own, of course. If you're on linux the path to the VOB file will be something like this if mounted normally
/media/BeeRye/STAR_WARS_DVD/VIDEO_TS/VTS_01_1.VOB
