Someone please educate me a little more.

I own the most recent Harmy blu rays and I love them. Is that the best available version of the OUT right now?

I read about Mike Verta doing a 4K scan from several different prints and the color being off and lots of work needing to be done. How much better would it look than the Harmy blu rays? Resolution isn’t the only thing when it comes to a good looking picture. I’ll take a clear 1080p or even 720p over a degraded picure in 4K resolution. I also read that he was told by Disney/Lucasfilm that he could never share his work so does it matter anyway?

What is Project 4K77 and how is it different from Mike Verta. What is the Silver Screen Edition?

All of these prints and even the original negatives have deteriorated so much over the years, how would someone restoring them even come to a decision on what the correct colors should look like?

Sorry for all the questions, and sorry for anyone who dislikes a recap of the conversations had over the years. I am just trying to catch up and understand. There is a lot to take in.
