Well, if there's ever a full 35mm HD scan of Star Wars made available to me, then yes, definitely (unless of course the scan already looks better than the official BD, which certainly isn't inconceivable).
You're not getting off the hook that easy, mister ;)
IMO, there's still a place for the DeEd's (or something like it), even under this scenario. It's quite likely a great-quality 35mm scan would still benefit from many things you could do:
- GOUT sync (and with that, all of our great audio options)
- Cleanup/cue mark removal
- Improved color timing to better match our best color references (Technicolor, etc)
- Stabilization
I assume that if a 35mm print was scanned, the "theatrical experience" would be well-preserved, but there are some things commonly done to films for home video that I think are nice to have.
Frankly, much of this would probably need to be done even if Disney themselves did a respectful transfer of Star Wars, so I don't see how it would be all that different if someone else did one.
Yes, but that is a job for someone else ;)

I noticed the Episode V crawl doesn't appear to have as much "light bleed" around the letters in the Grindhouse release. Could this just be due to the brightness/color balance being different, or is this really sharper than the Blu-ray/DeEdv2 crawl? If it is, I wonder what they did during the transfer to make it bleed like that.
I'm pretty sure it's just the levels and color difference.
