I was just watching the ILM: Creating the impossible documentary and they showed a few scenes from TPM. Now this was presented in HD and this was definitely the new TPM transfer that will be on the Blu-Ray. The difference between the existing HD transfer (which is the same as the DVD transfer) and the new one is astounding. Now this was taken from a compressed broadcast so some detail is probably lost, like grain etc, but now the proof is out there that it will indeed be a new transfer with the colouring fixed.

Now they also showed a few clips from the OT and, to me, the colouring looked almost the same as the 2004 transfer. I'm going to go through it to get some comparison snapshots and i'll post them later. But if the colouring is indeed the same then you can almost guarantee that this is what we'll get for the Blu-Ray. And to kenkraly, before you pipe in and say you're convinced that the colours will be fixed for the millionth time, just stop to think about this: Why would they use clips from the  new transfer of TPM, yet not use a new transfer of the OT? Well that's because they haven't done anything to it and that the 2004 version is what will be on the Blu-Ray.
