This thread is dedicated to the shot by shot color regrade of the TESB bluray based on my color grading for the future 4k80. Here’s the first set of sample frames.

Original OP:
Following a request from Hal 9000, I decided to try and create some scene by scene LUTs to get the TESB bluray to look half descent, using the 1997 SE telecine as the basis, while adding a few touches of my own. I will make these LUTs freely available, as he’s not the first member to make this request.
Here’s the first set of frames.

Not sure if I’m ever going to get around to this, but since there are not that many regrades for The Empire Strikes Back bluray, as for Star Wars, and since I needed a little break from the latter, here are a few experimental regrades, using the 1997 SE as a base.
