When the Original Trilogy makes its way to 4K, it will, without a doubt, be the 2011 Special Edition. However, do you think it’s possible that Disney and Lucasfilm will at least correct both the colors and sound mixes to match the theatrical presentations and sound far less compressed?
It’s going to be from an entirely newer scan of the negative, so they’ll have to redo the color-correction anyway.
As for the sound mix, your guess is as good as mine.
True, but I do believe they did a good clean up on the original negatives back when the first Special Edition in 1997 was done.
How is that relevant to color correcting the new xfer?
