Really looking forward to the restoration of the TESB, which IMO is the one with the worst transfer on blu-ray.
In what way? The changes are garbage and the color is not ideal (not as bad as ANH, though). Hopefully the next transfer will be better with regards to sharpening and noise reduction. But how is ESB anywhere remotely near the bottom of the list with all the atrocious blu-ray jobs out there. Just curious.
Exessive DNR, poor contrast and the transfer has this soft focus look which as shown by other transfers like the Grindhouse and other 35mm screengrabs, is not the case. It’s one of the reasons I can’t bring myself to watch Harmy’s 2.0 anymore because the 35mm despecialized scenes have far better image quality than the rest of the movie. I might change my mind about a new ESB Despecialized version if the blu-ray transfer goes through a restoration similar to what Neverar is doing with SW where he’s managed to make the movie look like it was sourced directly from a well preserved 35mm print.
