I'm wondering if there is a use / call for a summary of the changes described in these comparisons and where the best quality example is available. 

For example, currently the best example of the original shots would be either Team Blu's project or Harmy's De-specialised Edition.  For most of the Special Edition shots, it would be the Blu-ray, except when they were changed in the 2004 / 2011 edition - Jabba for example, and so forth.

The core sources we have to work with are:

  • 2011 BD with colour correction
  • 2004 DVD (certainly for Audio Mixes)
  • 1997 Special Edition (Broadcasts / Laserdiscs / Team Blu)
  • 1977-93 Releases Team Blu / Harmy / Ultimately Saving Star Wars


Would this seem accurate?

This can probably be gained from none's shot lists, but the amount of information in that impressive work still makes my brain ache...

Just spending 10 minutes 'fleshing' this out:

Star Wars - Versions

So most content could come from either Harmy's release or a colour corrected 2011 Blu-ray rip, the only exeptions being the 1997 Long Time and the Twin Suns for example.  Obviously this is only the first part of the film.

What is currently the best source for the 81 Logo and Crawl?  I guess it would have been the GOUT before they spliced on the 77 Logo??
