Are the 2011 Blu-rays a good source for the Prequels? I know they’re definitely not for the OT from all I’ve learned about OT restoration (thank goodness for oohteedee’s D+77/80/83). But they’re the highest quality versions of the Prequels I currently own and I want to know if they’re good to use for sources for edits or if I should get something else.
It depends on how you want to approach it. If you want the closest to the original theatrical color, then the HDTV versions are to my knowledge the best, until the folks doing 4K99 restore 35mm prints of the Prequels.
Just as a PSA, 35mm prints of all three prequels have been found, scanned and released.
