I'm sure someone will record it. It won't be a good reference at all though for a proper restoration like this. The X0 team is only using pre '97 elements. The 2004 dvd colors however, are so screwed up that they cannot be completely undone. Many of the details in black areas such as Vader's cape are now all completely black, for example. Scenes are so dark that boosting them would be like trying to fix a picture that needed more of a flash. People's faces will be grayed out after brightening. The special collection and definitive collection give much more to work with.
I'm wondering how the scene with the orange blob under the landspeeder will be dealt with. I know the DC is no good because of all the smearing but I'm pretty sure a lot of the scratches and noise was already there in '77 in the master print (due to all the optical compositing).
