Well as I said there is not much I can do about it unless I get a completely new system running on HDMI 2.0 and even then If the Screen Detects it’s a PC and not a DVD player or something else who is to say it won’t grey the options out like it does now. I am sorry that my screen only allows me to do white balancing, it’s not something that is my fault, I can’t do anything to change it. But I did run eizo test and it’s not throwing up any really obvious faults.

I do feel that although there are professionals here, I am not talking about say anything particularly precise. Perhaps this is where a confusion is coming from if I say try something and post an image, I am not saying this is exactly how it should look, or that anyone should take anything I am doing literally as gospel but what I would be trying to do and when I can see that it is plainly obvious is trying to understand a bit about how this film looks quite a bit different from other films of this era actually right the way through it. On top of that you have some weird things with effects shots.

If you will poke fun at me for when films shift out on color in to a different hue. check these out off the top of my head.

1.Terminator - Tunnel Chase and end Warehouse Chase many shots Shift out this was fixed later for the special edition

2.Aliens - During our initial introduction to the “Power Loader” walking Forklift a guy is carrying a missile and put’s it in the ship. This shifted in the original transfer again this was again fixed later on in the special edition version.

3.Platoon - Straight off the opening scenes in the Jungle is a magenta mess (I don’t know if this was fixed for any recent releases but the green has probably shifted)

4.Enter the Dragon - Plenty of that going on in the original transfer which was all over the shop

I can’t think of anymore at the moment, but to think Star Wars is somehow exempt from this issue, and if you have a problem understanding that sometimes hues shift and that is why a color tool was created to actually fix these problems.

So anything I am doing I am saying “yeah, there abouts” I am not trying to come to some kind of conclusive Holy Grail of how much red and blue and green Star Wars should Have. I Just enjoy having a look at stuff and pondering things and I a fun person, I like a laugh and I can take a joke 😃

This is the original image spot the difference.

That matte element of the moon is used for the falcon approaching Yavin IV also and the two look very different this brings it closer to the better looking version assuming more correct version earlier on.

I actually also find it concerning that for all the expertise these moments are not brought up and these things are not discussed how the same thing can be so different.
