Those debates remind me a question.

The “Technicolor look” is often opposed to “Eastman” or “Home video” looks for preservations here. But how could it actually be defined for Star Wars ? Does it just mean more vivid colors and sometimes little flaws due to complexity of the process and the importance of the human eye to obtain the correctly balanced image ?

In all the cases, Star Wars never look like Gone with the wind, The ten commandments or Singing in the rain. And in all the cases, it was shot on Kodak stock (there’s not three reels and filters in the camera) but processed with a color separation master, right ? So, even printed by the Eastman process, it is a Technicolor film, no ?

So, taking in account the fact that each print is different, what would be - in term of colors, contrast, sharpness etc. - the differences between a british Tech print with correctly aligned chanels and no grading flaws and a non faded Eastman print ?
