I got ROTJ PAL. Its the only one in the PAL zone to have a better transfer than the NTSC releases.

That Deliberate creative decision stuff was a hilarious excuse for the messed up audio on the 2004 DVD. But they then messed up the 2011 blu rays as well but didn’t claim it was a deliberate creative decision.

When you had frozen grain, fake added digital grain because they automated the DVNR and ROTJ had a worse and softer image on the Blu than on the HDTV broadcast. and even worse colors than before. I despise Lowry and everything they have “remastered”. They messed up James Bond and the Star Trek films they worked on as well.

The Reliance scans are just Lowry under a new name, but they are a mixed bag at best. Good detail in places, destroyed in others. Someone should take away the automated DVNR button. But i suppose the Maclunky edition is the best official release of the Special Edition we will ever get.

Thankfully i’ve seen 4K83 and 4K77 and i’m happy with them. 4K83 is so good you’d almost think it was an official release.
