OK but does George Lucus have a calibrated monitor?
definitely not… He has a calibrated laser gun.
I don’t think the special effects were designed to govwith restored 1977 footage.
I imagine they designed them to match the gout master. As that was the Master prior to any other version.
I don’t believe that’s correct. The GOUT is simply a telecine of a fading color timed interpositive of the original film. By the time the GOUT was made the negative and interpositives were already in a pretty poor state, as is evident from the GOUT itself, and the fact, that they had to rely on a technicolor print to color grade the film once the negative had been restored for the SE.
