I think this is where 4K77 and Despecialized can be different.

4K77 is strictly print based, it’s what a original Technicolor print would look like projected. And I think correcting some of the color imbalances from the inconsistent Technicolor process would be acceptable. Using reel by reel correction to keep it “authentic”

Then Despecialized should be Bluray based and be what we would expect a propper o-neg based restoration to be. So shot to shot correction to correct inconsistent color timing, removing heavy print grain and adding light negative grain where applicable. Basically what the BR would look like if it was done properly.

I think the inevitable disney 4K rerelease of the OT will be something like The Matrix’s rerelease. New scan with DOP approved grading to match the print but much more consistent shot to shot.
