Lucas mentions the work being done for the SE in at least one of the Leonard Maltin interviews from the '95 Faces set.
Originally posted by: BeeJayFollowing my theory of what LucasFilm is doing, let's be safe and say that if the original negatives were brought out again sometime early this year of 2006. That is a solid 9+ years that the o-negative has been dormant somewhere. During nine years, many things can happen. More grime can stick itself to the film, (nothing is perfect, even the most safest things get damaged,) and the restored scenes they did for the SE could've been lost inside of the computers. Why not go back and start fresh? That has to be what the plan is.

Good God, I hope so.
