 No, this was 100% 2011 Blu-ray and now completely unrelated to the 4K RMW scan this thread is about. It was identical to the '11 in changes/effects, and I believe as well as in coloration and cropping, though I'm no expert. I don't think the Plaza thing is worth discussing any further as it's only going to distract from the real conversation of what we think the RMW website listing means for the future of the trilogy: which negatives did they scan, and who's doing what, if anything, with said scan?

 That's good to know. I bet they scanned the 1997 SE because unfortunately that is what the "official" negative of the film is. I don't think anyone would go through the effort of adding future SE changes from 04 and 11 because the changes are so minute and pointless and would be a waste of time. That being said, I also don't think they would re-release the 97 version because the added CGI looks so dated and there would be no market for it really at all, no one wants an earlier version of the SE, people just want the OOT. So I really do think the new scan was made in order to restore the unaltered film, maybe i'm just getting my hopes up too high but it's really all that seems to make sense
