It should be noted that the before and after sample with the droids in the desert seems to be the old 2004 Lowry fiasco. It's old.
I disagree. It looks like a new cleanup. Here's why:

The damage in the red circle of the first comparison is completely dealt with in the RMW cleanup. However, this same cleanup seems to add a peculiar bit of damage in the green circle of the first comparison.
Moving to the comparison with the Blu-ray, there now appears to be damage in the red circle which was supposedly dealt with in the RMW cleanup. In the green circle of the Blu-ray, the spot of damage near R2 which is present in the cleanup is gone in the Blu-ray (and there's a different green artifact apparent in the Blu-ray). Also, I reduced the quality of the Blu-ray to match the RMW video, and the discrepancy remains, so the video resolution can hold this damage information.
There are several such damage discrepancies in this shot. I really don't think that this is the original Lowry work.
