Apparently only the Blu-ray was changed. As you were :)
I listed the differences from theatrical to dvd here. Note that's the first post on page 2 so I'm surprised you missed it!

Any ETA on this? Really excited to see your final results. :)
It depends what I can do with the shot you see above. Superimposing the images would require a moving mask which is a time consuming process to construct.

Also, Valeyard, "Theatrical Preservation" is incorrect terminology since you're not preserving anything in particular. What you're doing is a reconstruction of the Theatrical version.
All the SW Trilogy scans done by poita, team -1 and mikev are using multiple sources. There are three versions of the theatrical on the spleen as it is - LD, TB and Z. Adywan's "reconstruction" didn't correct the scene above, but if you like it's the 4th on there. It's easily possible to reconstruct the theatrical cut using just the Jap LD and the HDTV - taking scenes from each and arrange them into the correct order. My final cut will use the DVD and the TB as well - the TB proved very valuable in correcting the chroma in particular. So far I haven't changed anything, thus it's still a preservation. It's the the ultimate preservation by any means - someone with access to a theatrical print can scan it and make one that uses the print. Someone else may simply do what I'm doing except use the Bluray as well (I'm not using it because I don't want to, and I don't think it is representative of how the film looked in theatres). Preservations don't always fit into a particular concise definition, and the boundaries to reconstructions can be blurred.
