Unfortunately it doesn’t look like they’re fixing the one thing I care about - the weird blurring/DNR thing that goes on around Vader’s cape in various scenes. I don’t know at what point that distortion got introduced into the film but it’s in every BluRay release so far, and also appears in shots of this new edition.
Kind of frustrating because it’s one of those minor flaws that you can’t unsee once you notice it.
What clip in particular? I’ll check my HQ archives to see if that’s a YouTube compression issue…
This version does not have DNR.
For the new ones it’s a shot of the emperor walking down the ramp. I originally noticed it on the Vader scene when he enters through the smoke on the BluRay versions (4:33 in A New Hope, watch the stormtrooper legs blur and distort as Vader’s cape flows in front of them).
I made a quick gif to show what I’m talking about since it’s more subtle in this scene than the Vader one: https://bestedit.net/imgs/ot/sw-emperor-cloak.gif
It appears the side of the ship is warping similar to the stormtrooper legs in the BluRay, unless I’m wrong and it’s just an optical illusion from the smoke - can’t completely confirm with such short clips.
