I noticed people seemed to be talking about cleaning dirt/dust/etc from the film as post-production step. Normally this would be done by cleaning the film physically before scanning. Is that not possible for anyone that has actual film of the original trilogy?

Obviously, this is excluding other damage the film stock may have incurred.

From what I've seen of it, there's not much dirt, but there are little green scratch marks that occur along the left-hand side of the film.

Not too distracting if you're used to seeing that sort of thing, but I'm sure it'll be first priority.
