I do believe they could do better than this, seeing as how I'm using old LD masters for many shots and the whole thing is still a bit of a patch-work.

Would a 4K transfer of a Technicolor print be the definitive original version?

Is George Lucas the only obstacle to accomplishing this?

Attempting to define the "definitive original version" of Star Wars is an impossible task, so don't start crawling down that rabbit hole.

Which crawl variation do you want to include?

Which credit variation do you want to include?

Which soundtrack do you want to include?

Which colors do you want to match? (Most people didn't see an IB Technicolor print of Star Wars when it came out in '77. Furthermore, the contrast and saturation changes introduced by Technicolor imbibition process means that the colors of an IB Technicolor print are rather different from a '77 print on Eastman stock.)

I can go on and on...
