Here is Reel1 of the UK print, about 75% restored.

I’d like some feedback if people have any to offer, there are still a bunch of scenes that have only been lightly repaired, anything with threepio in it requires completely manual frame by frame touch up, and there are still a few frames with large blobs that will need some more time consuming attention.
I also need to deflicker some of the more flickery scenes. I am working in P3, so it may look a lot darker on your screens.

Other than that though, this is roughly the level I want to restore to, i.e. that of a print you might see in the cinema in the first few weeks of release, that only has some very minor blemishes.

The original scans are archived, so any version from a grindhouse to a super-scrubbed grain free version could be created in the future, but this reel is somewhat close to the ‘theatrical’ version I would like to create.

Any feedback appreciated, please quote frame numbers, and use screen shots when possible as it makes it easier.
