Having seen Neverar’s color for the entire Tantive sequence, it’s absolutely ideal in my opinion. This isn’t at all a comment about how things should or shouldn’t be, just my own personal taste. Jumping into the extremely green shots just throws me right out of the film. And if that makes me a 1980s ANH revisionist, then so be it. 😃
Should Neverar ever change his mind, I’ll just make sure I hang on to the current version for my own use. 😃
On a similar note, Poita recently said that he thinks the Rancor being bright blue in many Jedi prints could be an issue related to the film development labs. As with the hallway shots here, I’ve got to say I prefer the home video (and onwards) look if what we’re seeing is really representative of the theatrical. But maybe they were variable?
To make myself somewhat inconsistent, I’ll say that I also like the decision to keep the nice blue color of the shots with R2 getting into the pod (another thing that was changed in the home video version, I think).
Dre: I think you’ve got the slightest edge on that Droid Sale shot now, with just a bit more flesh color on the skin. But they’ve become very similar indeed.
