ESB was sourced primarily from Adywan’s old 1997 restoration, which used an HDTV capture of the 2004 version, and ended up about 14GB in size. I put out my release of ESB at about 15GB, which is considerably smaller and of somewhat lower quality than my other releases.

For ANH and ROTJ, I intend to export them at as high quality as possible, which will put them about double the size of ESB. I would remain open to potentially ‘remastering’ ESB if a substantially higher quality color corrected release is published which looks good color-wise. I will say about Adywan’s older ESB work: the colors are absolutely perfect.
