I've just finished a first pass at conforming the Blu-ray to the cut present on the Laserdisc (using the Angrysun edition).

Very cool!

I haven't seen the Angrysun LD preservation but I've heard it's (only) passable. For this, msycamore's preservation, SilverWook made an excellent cap (see this thread's page 2 for samples). AntcuFaalb is presently working on a new cap that should be better still, perhaps the best possible from a laserdisc source.

I would recommend (if it isn't too late) that you make your corrections independent of any particular laserdisc source. That way you can easily drop in another source (like the SW or AF cap?) for a better result with the least amount of redundant effort.

How do you plan to handle particular shots, where Lucas took the original shot and placed new graphics around it ..

.. to create the new Blu-ray shot? Trying to resize that small original section up to 1080p, for the HD restoration, wouldn't look very good.
