Whoever this quote is from contradicts all facts we had previously. The colors were messed up by LFL, they gave Lowry a 1080p file to clean up. If Lowry says its the same transfer now, its the same transfer that LFL did and messed up.Asaki said:

Well i got a reply from the person who was at the Blu-Ray preview at the Disney offices and it does look like we are getting the same old crappy transfers done for the 2004 DVD set:
As I was also at the launch of the Original Trilogy DVD box set, and spoke to Lowry Digital, who made the digital masters, it is my belief that the Blu-rays are created from the same masters as the DVDs. However, Lowry Digital originally created either 4k2k or 8k4k masters at the time (my memory is a little vague) not 1080p ones. And I believe it is these that have been used as the basis for the new BD transfers. Certainly, they are considerably better than either the DVD versions or 1080i TV broadcasts.
I don't see the part where it says the BluRays are just going to be the HDTV broadcasts...?
Unless you typoed and said "does" instead of "doesn't"?
But if what someone else said is true, that the colors were butchered before mastering, then I guess that's that =/
The real test is this:
This glitch on the Death Star is in the DVD, HDTV versions, everything using this master. If this glitch is not present on the BD, this may show that there were better transfers done OF the 2004 version. I'm wondering if the glitch was in the file LFL sent over and Lowry didn't see.
