There is, all-in-all, accurate information in this thread :)

 

IB's are exceedingly rare; pristine IB's essentially extinct.  Fading on a pristine print is essentially negligible at this point.  Scanning is a big deal. At 4k, scanning multiple passes also requires 30-40TB of storage.  In Star Wars' case, absent the negative, absent complete color sep masters, a combination of scans from IB prints and low-fade Eastman prints would yield a fantastic restoration.
