Thanks. Most of that is of course Harmy’s doing. I’d say lucasfilm could do a fantastic job, or at least produce something that only needs a few more tweaks.
But I do think Jedi is in the best state by a long shot. With better rancor source material and a 1080p pipeline it’ll be near perfect.
SW still needs some GOUT upgrades, especially in the final battle. And some of the 35mm footage could be better than the SSE print (especially with the lower bitrate 1.0).
I think ESB probably looks a bit better or more passable than SW 2.7. But part of it is because the changes were less severe in the first place. And the remaining recomped SE shots are nothing offensive. Poita’s new scans are incredible, so 2.5 should be amazing.
Cloud City’s despecialized shots look great. The only shots in Empire that I remember really needing better sources were the zoom-ins that had to be undone. In a way, I bet those were probably some of the more troublesome changes to undo, other than Jedi’s multiple stretches of entire scenes being altered or replaced.
