Over on the TSWT forums we now have 4K99 2.1, which has been cleaned up and now has the English crawl and alien subtitles.

4K02 is also having cleanup done and is expected to release in the near future

There is a scan of 35mm print of ROTS but it has not been cleaned up yet and the crawl is in Spanish

If film scans aren’t your thing I’d recommend Schorman’s prequel theatrical reconstructions. They use the HDTV preservations as their main source and are very well put together, TPM and AOTC will be receiving updated versions soon which will use the cleaned up footage from 4K99 and 4K02 instead of the grindhouse footage used previously.
