Yes, I certainly could do that, which is why I have.

Really? So why is the definition quite less precise and the colors a tad different so that these shots stick out?

Because the 35mm prints he used had lower effective definition and different colors than the Blu-rays, so the matching was imperfect, I'd hazard to guess... and simply using different 35mm projection print scans from an alternate source, as you're suggesting, is unlikely to fix the issue (projection prints do vary, but in general, they have lower effective resolution than interpositives, negatives, and the sort of sources used for Blu-rays, and Negative1's 35mm scans are in no way more magical than other 35mm scans) .  Maybe better color matching and blurring up the Blu-ray parts would make it match the 35mm source he used in 2.0 better, but switching to a different 35mm scan will, at best, only marginally improve the edge detail.

EDIT: Sorry, just re-read and saw that you thought he was using GOUT footage. It should suffice to say he wasn't.  That's about as good as we're gonna get detail-wise without access to the Lucasfilm vault.

 

I thought he was using GOUT and 97SE to unzoom the cockpit scenes? I didn't think he had 35mm scans to work with unless he was willing to wait for ESB:R. At least that's what this post said:
