From the review of the new release on thedigitalbits.com

“For the film’s original DVD release in 2001, that interpositive was scanned in 10-bit 2K by Lowry Digital, resulting in the creation of a 2K Digital Intermediate (complete with digital VFX tweaks and a color grade supervised by Lucas). This source was used again for the 2011 Blu-ray release, though with a bit more Lowry Digital remastering (and still more digital VFX and color timing tweaks)”

That is not true…
The source used for the DVD was the scan made in 1999 for the original VHS and LD release, plus regraded colors, new cut and alternate scenes.
It was NOT used again for the 2011 BR release. It was then a new scan directly from the original negative, which was reused for the 2012 3D version.
