Salut! 😃

The “Renegade Grindhouse” version of ESB (sometimes called “Grindhouse version 1”) refers to Team Negative 1’s original 35mm version, released in January 2015. TN1 intended to clean it up in order to release a “Sanitized” edition, a bit like their Silver Screen edition of Star Wars. Sadly they disbanded before finishing the project, and as far as I know it is no longer being worked on.

Dreamaster has indeed released his own colour-corrected versions of the Renegade Grindhouse, and they are known as “Single Pass Regrade” and “Dreamastered” as you have discovered. If you get the latter, make sure you get “Dreamastered version 2” which has corrected a few niggles here and there.

You may come across “Grindhouse version 2” of ESB. This was also released in January 2015 by TN1, but is based on a different print; it also goes by the name of “DCP (Digital Cinema Package) 2013”. I prefer the Renegade Grindhouse to the DCP 2013, and it is also much easier to obtain.
