Just for public notice. Not that we are completely ready, but at some point this issue needs to be addressed. As you can see we have made some substantial progress.
Once we are done with the first version that is viewable by our standards, we would like some feedback before the final release.
I'm very pleased to hear you're nearing competition, especially since Lucasfilm couldn't even be bothered to do a fresh scan for the 2011 bluray despite all the shortcomings of the DVD transfer.
I'm pretty sure (though this is just my opinion) that Lucasfilm will now do a new transfer of the films for Bluray in time for Episode 7 (so 2015), and with Lucas out of the picture I believe that would at the very least include the Theatrical version of Empire Strikes Back since that's what the director wishes. Beating Disney/20th Century Fox on the release of SW will encourage them to do a much better job of the transfer than the obsolete 2004 one even if it is just the SE, which it probably will be. That's if they aren't already motivated by the You Too's CC edition and the other versions.
Well done and good luck with your release team -1, the previews you've posted look great!
