I always thought that moon was supposed to be blue as, when the camera pans down from the crawl, it momentarily looks like our earth and moon. Then suddenly the massive world of Tatooine rises into shot and we realise that we really are in another galaxy. Very effective if that was the original intent. 😃

Yeah it’s just grey now but the matte sliding over it kind of is a bit distracting. Would have been nice if It could have retained it’s original color in the Special edition when we first see it.
Just theorizing about print scans and the levels set-up. So if you were trying to emulate what an image looked like projected you would leave highlights at 100% the mid’s you would drop to around 93% and the shadows around 85% or there abouts to take into account how something is not as bright will drop off quicker from the projector to the screen… This would be done for telecines I would imagine.
