This isn’t an “uncorrected mistakes or unfixed issue”, but it is a mistake and issue for the quality of image on the 2019 editions to be so lacking in detail:

@adywan you did you use sharpening tools just wondering Someone said this shot looked overly sharpened. It was on a discord
Well that shot is from 2 different sources, as was fully explained in the original post on this site where i posted that image. No sharpening was done. It was to show how much detail has been scrubbed from the 2020 blu-ray, which is the image on the left, compared to the detail in the 2011 Blu-Rays, which is the image on the right. The panels on the droid in the 2020 blu-rays have been almost scrubbed away including the weathering.
There are more examples in adywan’s “Star Wars: Episode IV Revisited Edition” thread, on page 490:

That is poor. Who signed off on that? I hope they correct or address that in their next release, or in an update on Disney+
Did they fix the Return of the Jedi style stormtrooper helmets appearing in the Special Edition releases of Star Wars (ANH) for the 2019 SE version?
I saw someone on twitter last week explaining that stormtrooper helmets in Return of the Jedi are different to those used in Star Wars and Empire Strikes Back. For some reason when Lucasfilm did the Special Editions in 1997 for all 3 OT films they used Return of the Jedi stormtrooper helmets by mistake.
It is only a small nitpick, but is yet another mistake introduced by the Special Editions.
I can’t find the twitter thread now, but I will look for it later.
