Those weren't the greatest though, since they were based on various home cinema transfers.. parts of it were from the DVD, some from the Laserdisc, some from VHS even, IIRC.
Now we have this original film transfer - available both with and without Digital Noise Reduction (to help get rid of the grain you were talking about).

Which Team Negative 1 already did several years ago at 1080p. They took an original theatrical reel from the 70's and scanned it all at 1080p and called it the Silver Screen Edition (SSE), which is what I've been referring to and apparently you haven't heard of. Now they've done the same thing again but at 2160p. I know about Harmy's despecialized, I've seen the special edition crap, but after seeing the original SSE and knowing the poor quality of the theatrical reels it comes from I'm struggling to see why scanning the same low quality source at an even higher res is going to make it look any better.
