With the missing frames, would it help to use lesser sources as placeholders or is this generation process a better fit?

I've experimented a bit with it and in the end it seems the best solution at reel changes was to generate frames inbetween like we did. It would be much more visible if we'd use other sources, though we'll be forced to do that in ESB where there's a sequence of frames missing when Luke meets Vader in the cave.

As for complete cleanup on ESB and ROTJ, that would be an insanely massive undertaking especially with these being as much of a turd as they originally were. I agree that the big ones like glue smears, splices and light flashes should be looked at but otherwise I don't foresee problems.

Yeah, it was first when I started to analyze ESB that I fully understood how many bad frames there were. We'll clean up the worst and leave the rest. The highest priority is the color errors like wrongly colored lasers and such. Since we're finished with SW, the work will continue with ESB after christmas.

Until then I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! And thanks for supporting our project.
