The deleted scene of Luke building his Lightsaber is a good candidate for restoration; for example, here is a first pass restoration I did on that scene – some of the dust, dirt and scratches are circled in blue.
To note: I’ve added a bit of green to the blade colour, however no other colour correction has been done, plus I’ve added a light film grain. Deinterlacing and upscaling haven’t been done yet either.
