It looks like I have quite a few frames from that seller as well, judging from the 5 frame cutting. They’re probably from the same reels. I don’t have any from the first 3 reels, but the preview images showed them to be very yellow, with red highlights. The Ben frames seem to indicate this, and poita’s scan of the burning homestead as well. It would be interesting to see these early frames in more detail.

He didn’t have reel 1 sadly, but I have roughly 500 frames from all the other reels, with 500 more under way. The photos he posted are not that accurate, and overemphasize the yellow cast. The Tatooine footage looks sort of like this:

A natural yellowish sand color.
