You have a couple of sub scenes from Jedi in there which seems to use a pretty good source:

Other than that it's not good looking. What Lucas' official story is, doesn't really matter anyway, he just don't want these versions out there. Plain and simple.

And that is clearly not the GOUT because the subtitles are not burned into the frame. They are just a separate subtitle track on the disc. So, the footage was sourced from something other than the 1993 Laserdiscs. Whatever that source might be, they did get a print that was not used on the official DVD transfers.
