I definitely prefer the look of the 1997 35mm prints, as we’ve seen with 4K97_V. The more consistent color timing (which was still respectful to the source material) was an improvement. It sucks that ESB came out in one of the worst years for film stock, when Eastmancolor was your only mainstream option with minimal alternatives (Fujicolor and Agfacolor, IIRC).
