I'm still pretty sure, at least for ANH, that the video transfers didn't get the look quite right--especially since most of them had the pink tint run rampant through Mos Eisley. Until we find a print source it's going to be very difficult to figure out exactly what they did. The best I've found were reviews at the time saying the new prints despite the hoopla seemed a bit softer and diffused in color in comparison to the last reissue from about 1993 or so.

I do truly hope TeamBlu gets to finish these at some point as the SE really should be preserved since it was really the last official presentable version and remains the best source the films currently exist in. But the big winner was the resurrected GOUT which is so shockingly amazing that it still makes my head spin. Hard to believe a huge Frankenstein resurrection of the old dead horse we all know/love/hate could result in such a staggeringly good HD finished product. If someone showed it to you and said that it was really from an old MUSE 1080i disc or something, you'd believe it.
