The GOUT treatment for '97SE would certainly be interesting - it wouldn't be anywhere near the quality it could be with a proper remaster but unlike the GOUT, the original '97 master tapes, (which were the sources of those '97SE broadcasts we have now) would make for a decent anamorphic DVD.

There were HD masters done of the 97SE. ANH was shown on ITV here in the UK in HD then suddenly switched to the 2004 SE's for the rest of the trilogy. It was only ever shown once in HD.
