I suppose I could go look at that thread again and not be lazy. But isn't the strong evidence just people who claimed to have seen it with no proof? (people who previously claimed it was the April 2015 digital release, until that came out and then "corrected" themselves)

No, it's based on a pretty fleeting but nevertheless concrete preview clip from Reliance Media. Whether the 4K scan will ever amount to anything, be released as a consumer product, etc, is still an open question, but somebody's doing something, and that something oddly doesn't exactly match any previous release, at least in the preview clip (it would have been helpful if they included the Han/Jabba scene or something that helped nail down the clip's pedigree, but the clips are from scenes that weren't changed much, so it took our neighborhood lightsaber-glow-specialists and whatnot to sort out what it was).
