A couple of questions:
Is a Grindhouse release on the cards?

Harmy’s Grindhouse of Jedi is from these scans, is it not?

I was wondering more about Star Wars '77 - there hasn’t been a Grindhouse version released to my knowledge - but as Poita is producing all new restorations from multiple prints any fresh Grindhouse takes on ESB and JEDI may be marginally superior (ie; worn-looking as opposed to tattered) to the -1 and Harmy cuts. While I do treasure the existing GH editions, ESB is rough almost to the point of distraction in some spots. A slightly more refined GH preservation would be a very appealing prospect to me although I can completely understand if this is neither a real priority nor something that fits conveniently into this project’s workflow. Once again, huge props and thanks to Poita, Harmy, tN1, et al for their hard work. Legends all.
