While I understand the concerns over the scan resolution, a scan at full anamorphic DVD resolution, followed by a detailed and precise color correction/restoration, should give us much better overall picture quality than the official 2006 DVD set. For one, the resolution will be higher, plus when the files are being encoded into the DVD video there will no doubt be care taken to make sure there are no significant compression artifacts introduced. Thus resulting in a very clean video. The main concern I think is over scratch removal and such, if this can be done well, then the end result should look great.

Yes, it would be extra cool if we could scan in HD or 2k, but a good anamorphic DVD res video is better than what we have now and well worth doing. :) If we can have the 2006 GOUT pre-SE colors combined with full DVD res and good detailed picture quality, that is a huge gain for Star Wars fans. :)
