Just figured I check if this is just me. I find Return of the Jedi to be the least visually appealing SW movie. Tatooine should seem bleaker, Jabba’s Palace darker and more hazy. For being in a forest, Endor just FEELS fake - almost no non - Ewok activity, wind, rain et. Was thinking this would look better with greens boosted and temperature made warmer. Dagobah could be a little bleaker with more fog.
Weird that endor feels fake when it’s a real forest.

The same forest where ET was shot.

Are we talking about the GOUT, Grindhouse, Despecialized, or Blu-ray here?
You probably don’t recognize me because of the red arm.
Episode 9 Rewrite, The Starlight Project (Released!) and Terminator Ultimatum,

Someone shot E.T.‽
I was thinking this after watching the GOUT, but I mean it in general - there is a streamlined feel to RotJ, where SW and ESB both pushed different palettes depending on location.

False alarm. They were planning on shooting him, but somehow their guns were replaced with walkie-talkies.

This is true but that’s pretty much every 80’s movie…

Someone spoke at E.T.‽
Han spoke first.
The big difference is in newer film stocks, and a different cameraman. For example look at Temple of Doom vs Raiders. Same team but three years of technical advancements and roughly a different look because of it.
ROTJ has overall a much flatter look to it that is indeed less visually appealing on the surface.

I always assumed it was film stocks. Empire still has that washed out 70s look, where it’s often really dark but also lower contrast elsewhere. The further you get into the 80s the more … well 80s it looks.
