The way it looked in 1978 is not "definitive" because it was a crap, ultra low budget film that barely allowed the filmmaker to fill up their intended look, the prints were probably made with the cheaper prints factory out there, why would anyone want to preserve the cheap look? This is BLU RAY we don't want a preservation of the cheap, we want the BEST PRESENTATION.

1999 THX got it right.

Could the same be said for Star Wars too?

Seriously...aren't we in this to preserve the original look, even if it was shit?
