IIRC, this shot is absurdly dirty in GOUT.

It's so bad that I chose to use it for teaching myself PFClean.

The second wide shot of Luke with the saber is. It just has to be from a different print.

I agree. I remember reading that LFL replaced some of the more-F'ed-up DC shots with ones new(er) transfers for the 1995 THX release. Maybe this shot is one of them?

It's not foreign dirt on the print in this case, what you're seeing in this shot is dirt built into the elements of the original optical effects work. Black splotches everywhere... it's present in other composites as well but not as extreme as in this shot. The landspeeder pass by shot in Mos Eisley is another sequence that contains much built in dirt.
