As I understand it, the original negatives have been preserved and they were the ones cleaned - the negatives that were actually shot out of the cameras on-set, not copies. While Lucas may no longer have a complete reel of the original editions, he still has all the material required to re-build it.

Some of the film that included effects shots (like the ones with Light Sabres) won't be the film that the live on-set action was actually shot on, I understand that.
