loving the content and musings in this thread , I am wondering if there is a difference between colors in the various reprint trades , dark horse started the recoloring with the series of trades called A LONG TIME AGO , which were colored by digital chameleon and I own those , then a few years later they printed them again in their omnibus collection , they also did two issues each of the movie adaptations of the OT with new cover art by Al Williamson, Arthur Adams ,Cam Kennedy etc . and those were the first recolorings of the movie adaptations . and now that Marvel has the license back , they are also putting out trades of the original series . I also own the hardback movie adaptations that Silverwook mentioned and I like some of what they did but think they went too far in some places like the asteroid chase in Empire where they actually erased some of Al Williamson’s artwork in favor of " enhancements " which is an affront to the artist in my opinion seeing that he is deceased and has no say in it . I have always wanted to see the entire series recolored though , but in a way that respects the artists and keeps the work intact and corrects things like the way Luke has a yellow or red saber , the two tone face of Chewbacca that makes him look like a monkey ,etc . those things bugged me even as a kid . I would buy the trades again if they put them out like that .
