I think it’s also worth remembering some people will want the best possible presentation of the Prequels, and even though the D+ versions aren’t as different - they’re still a better transfer than the 2011 blus, correct?
I believe they are the same.
No, they’re not. Disney thinks they are, which is why this 2011 mix-up happened, but the new Disney+ SE is a completely new transfer, based on the 1997 version. The color grading is different, the 2004-2011 changes have been recreated, and a few new changes have been added, including the infamous “Maclunkey”.
