It’s a little inaccurate to say hue shift though.

When it comes to digital video or films grading . We don’t work in Hue we work in mostly in RGB values, contrast and saturation. It’s very rare to even touch the hue knob as it pushes everything to the right or left. Not helpful at all. (Yes there are ways to specifically alter and shift specific hues but neither the film nor the bluray likely used these techniques)

When it comes to badly regarded films it’s a case of RGB curves and saturation that makes them look so much bluer or greener or redder or magenta. Film prints don’t degrade by shifting hues, but by the RGB particles degrading at different rates.

The Death Star shot you posted. Nothing to do with hue shifts and everything to do with RGB and saturation.
