Does this mean there's now a better chance that the RMW scan could be OOT? Weren't we assuming '97 because we thought it tied into the Plaza? Or did the screenshot comparison rule out OOT?
It was only a hunch that the Plaza was showing the RMW work, a hunch that was clearly wrong if the colors were the same as the 2011 release.
Here's another comparison between releases:
Top Blu-ray, Bottom RMW.
Top corrected GOUT, bottom corrected 97 SE:
It seems like the lightsaber compositing of the RMW matches the Blu-ray, but that could simply be because the original lightsaber elements are faded, accounting for similar results in both shots. If they simply scanned the '97 version, it would seem to me that the compositing would match the bottom shot. So I'm still thinking that the RMW is a new 4K scan of the original elements which have been assembled in a way which is similar to the 2011 version.
