Unfortunately it doesn’t look like they’re fixing the one thing I care about - the weird blurring/DNR thing that goes on around Vader’s cape in various scenes. I don’t know at what point that distortion got introduced into the film but it’s in every BluRay release so far, and also appears in shots of this new edition.

Kind of frustrating because it’s one of those minor flaws that you can’t unsee once you notice it.

What clip in particular? I’ll check my HQ archives to see if that’s a YouTube compression issue…
This version does not have DNR.

For the new ones it’s a shot of the emperor walking down the ramp. I originally noticed it on the Vader scene when he enters through the smoke on the BluRay versions (4:33 in A New Hope, watch the stormtrooper legs blur and distort as Vader’s cape flows in front of them).

I made a quick gif to show what I’m talking about since it’s more subtle in this scene than the Vader one: https://bestedit.net/imgs/ot/sw-emperor-cloak.gif

It appears the side of the ship is warping similar to the stormtrooper legs in the BluRay, unless I’m wrong and it’s just an optical illusion from the smoke - can’t completely confirm with such short clips.

That’s just compression. Here’s the Full quality clip:

(There is still some compression.)

I assure you no such DNR problems exist with this new version…

Yeah in your clip it doesn’t seem to be so attached to the cape as the more compressed versions, although if you step through those frames a little slower those middle three boxes below the light still wiggle like a wave with the smoke. Hopefully that’s just the “some compression” doing weird things and not present in the final product though. I’d be very happy to have an artifact-free version of the OT!

Do we know if the weird pitch lowering done to Yoda’s voice in the stereo and 70mm mix of ESB will be fixed in the new 7.1 mix? Specifically the scene in his hut when he’s saying “Patience, soon you will be with him” and “Why wish you become Jedi?” etc.

I know it would technically be a change but it isn’t like that in the mono mix so I feel like it may have been a mistake (or they realised that pitching his voice down to make him sound less annoying goes against the point of the scene). Plus it was also “fixed” in the SE

That’s the only thing that bothers me about the original stereo mix of Empire
