was over at the facility that did the resoration/cleanup for the orginal trilogy. Lucasfilm did their own 4K scanning off a print - not negative. He apparently asked for the highest level of grain removal possible - so that the orginal films would look more like his high-def prequals. It made for such a flat image. Looking at the untouched 4K - it was beautiful (scratched and dirty like gangbusters) - but the “cleaned” up frame just lost a sense of depth and detail. It’s unfortunate, some of their other work that left as much originall grain in (Indiana Jones) looked incredible.
