Your pic is fine and makes me think about a photograph of this shot by Mike Verta during the screening of a tech print.
Is it more correct than the purple version ? That’s a good question.
My Brain is Ticking…
My opinion is Yes it is and here is why.
This shot and the space shots required special effects thus most of this stuff was made on different film stocks. The technicolor print is correct for all the live action. But in terms of anything that has special effects it needs to be adjusted to match the rest of the technicolor footage.
Let’s face it the technicolor print in mos-eisley does not need to be more yellow. This also explains the yellow faded opening and the lack of color in the explosions.
So I would say the special effects shots need to be matched to the rest of the print as they stick out like a sore thumb.
No more misleading blue / magenta stuff space ships. And don’t forget the yellow lights underneath the star destroyer…
I imagine the special effects vary quite a lot from the rest of the live action?
That yavin shot would be warmer also…
Ok I think the VHS is a good indication that a lot of the pink flashes are in fact meant to be yellow…
