I personally would be very interested in discovering what defines the film like look. Between the early home video releases, and the current digital restorations created directly from the negative, I have struggled a lot trying to get contrast and saturation at the right levels. In the case of Star Wars what makes that film 1970s in terms of its look, and feel, and how do you avoid the pitfall of essentially turning a restoration or color grading into something that is mostly driven by modern tastes?
