There’s a version of the '97 SE version of Episode IV which was done by Harmy… compiled from various sources and it looks very good.
It is available on tehparadox… Start up a free account and do a search for “star wars harmy.” You’ll find a thread called “Harmy’s STAR WARS Trilogy Despecialized Edition - NO DISCUSSIONS/REQUESTS (SEE POST #2).”
There are links there for Harmy’s Despecialized versions of Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi… The links (and description) for Harmy’s REspecialized version are under those for ROTJ. What’s pretty cool about this release is that it includes the original 5.1 DTS-HD audio as heard during the theatrical run of the SE’s.
Hope that helps!
Tehparadox is down for me. Or it’s blocked. Does anyone know if there’s any way to acess it?

Adywan’s color corrected version of ESB has the original emperor, so technically it’s the '97 SE.
Does Luke scream?
The audio is from a 1997 laserdisc so the audio is 100% '97. The video however is just color corrected '04(aside from the original Emperor) so some of the '04 changes are still present like the shadows on Han’s shoulders.
