Not too obviously, but I think ROTJ is worse because the 35mm material only became available to Harmy when he was pretty much done with ROTJ 2.0 (I think that was the case, at least). Maybe he would’ve stabilized it further if he’d had access to it sooner.

Then again, I was wrong earlier when I said 4K83 is only sprocket-hole-stabilized - ohteedee said that while he was working on it, the gate weave was so excessive when just sprocket-stabilized that he had to stabilize it even further, prompting some to complain since that gate weave is part of the print and possibly should have been left in for the initial “master” release. But apparently it was so bad that he couldn’t leave it sprocket-stabilized without it being extremely distracting.

So it’s possible that ROTJ is just that difficult to work with as far as gate weave goes, all the way back to the negative.
