Does anyone remember vividly watching Episode 4 in the theater during the SE release? I have a reel 1 of the film in 35mm and the interior scenes on the ship had a slight bluish/purplish tinge to the frame to where Vadar's black didn't really look like "black" black. I'm told by several other people who have prints that a lot of prints had problems like this.

Padawan LearnerThe one I've seen in 1997 had correct colours. My eyes are usually sensitive to this kind of problems and I don't remember nothing wrong with the movie until the heroes arrived to Mos Eisley and I've seen the dinosaurs and fake looking CGI crap.
However the VHS I bought shortly after it had already a notable pink shift

delurking mode.. onI remember a heavy blue shift during the theatrical run. I saw it with a friend who managed a photo lab. He commented "way to much cyan" and I chalked it up to him being an overly neurotic colour nerd (I should have been as well as I was, and am, a professional graphic designer). Went back to see it a few days later, and it was plain as day. I must have been too excited to see it again on the big screen to not have noticed it. I probably saw it half dozen times during it's run. Same every time.
