Wow, what activity. :)

I like that you mention the warm and golden quality of Star Wars as that is exactly how I remember it, especially the scenes on Tatooine, slightly old fashion. I also think that sometimes people may mistake the warm 70's look for very saturated colors, this frame is a perfect example of that nice 70's look. Those pics of the Derann print also display it, very nice.

Haven't seen this one before, was it posted on his site? Another thing that stands out to me about this frame is the darker blue on R2-D2, see how far removed the look of R2 seen in modern transfers is compared to this, even compared to some earlier transfers to some extent.

here is our version:

(these are all raw non-corrected frames)

That picture was originally posted by Mike in the Despecialized Edition thread.

Here are the other images from the screening which he posted there:

Mike's original posts are in pages 122 and 123 of the thread. He explains more about the screening, how warm projector bulbs were in the 70s, and how the same print projected with modern lighting looks different:
