Oh, no, it's good that you pointed it out (though I probably won't be doing anything about it in this case). As to that red sky shot, that is very much intentional.

The shot right before that one looks really blue.  I'm guessing that this is not how it looked originally, but that the blu-ray color-timing makes it impossible to restore to the original look?

Wow.  Thank you so much!  And Harmy... I can't believe that.  That is stunning.  I am ready to be wowed by this movie much the same way I was the first time I saw Star Wars in widescreen.

On the contrary, this is very much how it originally looked. I was quite surprised by it because in the GOUT this scene looks much less blue but this is what it looks like on the IB print (or well, close to this anyway).

We are just now starting to see why wildly inconsistent colors have been considered a hallmark of this film by people in the position to know.

Wow, that's interesting.  Yeah I looked at the GOUT too, and it's not even close to this.  I know the GOUT is not reliable, but you would still expect them to be in the same ballpark.  I wonder why they are so different?

Harmy, it might just be my computer or something with my setup causing this but...

the walls inside of Ben's hut seem to flicker. Anybody else see this? Just thought I mention it in case others see it too. Otherwise very nice Harmy.

I'm sure that this shot was like this in the original, but it just looks really out of place.

The scenes before and after it, the sky is a nice blue, but this closeup it is very red.  If it was supposed to be like that as per the original, that's fine by me, just is a bit off to me.

It's things like this that make me so happy preservations like this and DJ's are around -- it's scary to see people already forgetting (or never even knowing) what the originals looked like.

My server hates Uloz and it'll be a long time until I get WP part 2.  Can anybody post a cap of the binary sunset?  Please?

That sunset scene is absolutely gorgeous.  I can't wait 'til my download is done and I can watch it.

Hey Harmy i'm just in the middle of watching this now and i noticed in the scene were obi wan says '' i haven't gone by the name of obi wan since oh before you were born '' around the 00:30:02 to 00:30:04  mark look at this scene im sure there is a slight colour shift or glitch going on, or something odd, maybe it's just me?? anyway just trying to help

Yeah, I noticed that, it sort of jumps up and down a little, I don't know what the hell that is, it could be some encoding error. It could be the same thing that's causing the wall flicker. The encoding didn't go quite smoothly and the computer froze when encoding sound, so there may be a few encoding glitches in it. I might actually do another encode with a few fixes - it is a workprint for me too, you know - I can't see it play smoothly in fullscreen until I encode it either.

Ok cool , i wasn't really sure if it was a error or was meant to be in the original theatrical version

Wow! What is this, 35mm cell scan or GOUT? http://img840.imageshack.us/img840/7651/deedwp3r2mkvsnapshot123.jpg

I was wondering the same thing, look great!

Well, it's not GOUT ;-)

Harmy, I forget... will the BD be 720p or 1080p?

720p
