I did a doubletake on that when I first watched the DVD. But sure enough, those lights have always been green, we've just never seen them so saturated. I don't know why it would have shaken - all I did was apply a some new hues to the overhead matte painting (two shots).

the video is just so much better (PAL)


Didn't I send you the NTSC version? It shouldn't look much different from the region 1 DVDs.

Oh, I know that the green isn't something you did. However, I wonder which is supposed to be right. I mean, I guess they both could be right but it makes little sense to me.

You used PAL as a source, which has a bit better color timing than the NTSC version. So thus, when you converted PAL to NTSC (which is what you did, right?) it preserved the better image coloring. The Death Star goes from blackish blue (NTSC) to the correct grey (PAL).
