ORIGINAL CGI OR SCANNED CGI? 2004-2011 STAR WARS

When the 1997 STAR WARS negative was scanned, is the '97 CGI that can be seen in the 2004-2011 versions coming from the scan or are the CGI digital scenes put into the 2004-2011 editions?

The CGI is in the negative, but they did re-do some of the CGI ontop of the CGI (that is, there is some fresh CGI on CGI such as re-done Jabba).

[ Scanning stuff since 2015 ]

Whether the CGI featured in the 2004-2011 versions of Star Wars originated from the original 1997 scans or was newly added CGI is a mystery in terms of authenticity and the changes made to the visual effects over the years.

CGI scenes like the Battle of Yavin have grain, that may be because this scene is from the 1997 master scan, although other scenes like planets celebration do not have grain,This may be because they used the digital version of this CGI scene to add naboo so the quality between scenes didn’t vary.
