Well, that's what I've been saying from the beginning - that I'm afraid they'll release some bastardized "close enough" version of the OOT and then when we once again complain, everyone will call us petty fanboys who are never satisfied, like with the GOUT.

Even a disappointing release will be a fantastic source for projects like yours. Little to no rotoscoping, no low res elements, no issues with 35mm color and fade. Although neg1's RotJ prints seem damn near good enough.

When comparing SW restoration to the love and attention *some* other major films get, much time has been spent discussing the limitations of restoring the original film. The negatives and elements are obviously in a sorry state. But as far as ESB and Jedi go, is there any reason they can't perform restoration as good as, for instance, Jaws? There is no such thing as flawless, and as stated above, there will always be complaints. They'll have to make decisions that can never please everybody. But a professional quality release should actually be possible for those two, right?

Robert A. Harris has said otherwise re: Star Wars '77.

If I remember correctly, he commented on the home theater forum around the time of the blu-ray release that all of the assets/elements for these movies are "well-protected" and that there is no need for concern.
