Did the blu-ray actually try to fix the colors from 2004? Besides the minor lightsaber fixes, did they try to make Hoth less blue or colors not quite as oversaturated?

Overall, I have to go with 1997. For one, it actually looks great with proper color timing and a well done sound mix. Plus, at least this was advertised and promoted as a new version. I also find it silly that after being promoted as the definitive version/vision of Lucas, he’s gone back and digitally altered it two times in the next 14ish years.
I mean how are we supposed to take Lucas seriously instead of seeing him as some OCD guy who can’t just move on from something.
