A moment in the trilogy that I've always winced at occurs during ESB at counter position 0:39:57 (Special Edition videotape, counter zeroed at 20th Century Fox). On the large asteroid, the Millenium Falcon turns on its side to evade pursuing TIE fighters. As the fighters explode, the contrast shifts wildly, and we are presented with an ill-defined mess of an image for that second or so. I wouldn't expect a miracle fix, because this is a huge problem with the source and the original blue/black screen photography. But, I would hope the crazy contrast shift could be stabilized so this sore thumb of a shot could be better blended with the shots that precede and follow it. Color passes? Filters? Thank you all for considering this fix.
