All I can say is they all look fantastic! The remastering on the prequels is top notch I would think they were filmed in 4K instead of 1080p

Disney+ gets every 'Star Wars' movie in 4K, Dolby Vision and Atmos

Yeah, the detail looks pretty good to me. I've scanned through a few of the films.
The stamping on the bottom of the Wampa Cave Graflex is super clear.

Am I hearing right that Disney has made yet more edits to the films? Saw something about Greedo getting in a last word before dying (while still shooting). Dunno if anythings been found in ESB or ROTJ as of yet
The 4K remastered films were done by Lucas, just before selling the company, as part of the process of 3D conversion and theatrical re-release (as Episode 1 was) before that project was cancelled. So, yes, slight further changes as happened with every prior re-release/remaster, but they were at least Lucas's, rather than some anonymous Disney employee.
So far the only really noticeable change is the ever-evolving Greedo scene - Han fires a couple frames earlier than in the Blu-ray, and Greedo has one additional line. Otherwise they seem to be the edits from the Blu-rays, but in 4K with a new transfer.

I'm puzzeled that no one has mentioned the 4K77 project etc.. Surely a lot of this stuff (additions/deletions aside) would be have been visible on there?
(I don't have it as I can't figuer how to download to Linux).

I don't have it either. Otherwise, I might have checked before now. This won out by being convenient, I guess.

Linux lite (Ubuntu based). I'm not experienced at downloading stuff not the program/instalation manager. You couldn't PM me could you? (you won't offend if you don't want to).

I've been meaning to check 4k77 and 4k83 to see if any helpful new details are visible anywhere. What I'd really like to see is the Star Wars Legacy project from Mike Verta, but he appears to have gone dark over the last year and took down his main site. His restoration work is phenomenal, using multiple prints and custom software to remove every imperfection but original negative grain. It's far better than any official release has been.
He talks a lot about how much previously unseen detail you can pull out of the value range in original print scans. Here's an example of him playing with the Tantive IV corridor to demonstrate...the wall greeblies and door surface texture are nuts.
If his version ever surfaced (or if anyone could talk him into looking at shots) then I think everyone's rivet questions would be answered

Last time I read anything from Verta over at originaltrilogy.com, I believe he revealed that he had given a presentation of the 4k project to senior people at LFL, who were apparently very excited. He said he wasn't allowed to say any more, and then I believe went dark. Have my fingers crossed that means good news on the horizon.

I love all the new details we're seeing. That said, I very much look forward to getting these on 4k disks next year.

Interesting that the holes appear round. Does that imply they drilled into the clamp to attach the transistors?
