If you think Star Wars/A New Hope looks different from the other films, even in the home video transfers, you might want to consider that it is SUPPOSED to look different because of how it was made. It might be deliberate. But the red you are seeing is not something that seems any different in the GOUT transfer or the prveious transfers, or even the SE transfer. I only noticed a big difference with the DVD/HD/BR transfer and what I did to fix it was to color balance the RGB channels by pushing the yellow/blue channel to the yellow and the cyan/red channel to the cyan, leaving the magenta/green channel alone. All of my previous attempts involved messing with the magenta/green channel and none of them worked. That channel is the one least impacted by fading on film stock and is the one to balance the others too.

If you lack any other tool, pick up the 2004/2006 Star Wars dvd and in the special features is a THX tool for color correcting your screen. Use it. Pick of Star Trek II on Blu-ray. Watch it. Pay attention to the skin tones. I find some to be a bit yellow, but most are a nicely balanced. It is also a good movie to check out how ILM special effects transfers over on a non Star Wars film. Also check out American Graffiti on Blu-ray. Also by Lucas but no special effects and the film is in better condition. Neither one needs any color correction and they will help you judge if your work on Star Wars is off or on target. But for goodness sake, stop saying you don’t need to calibrate your monitor. You do. That is color correction step 1. If your monitor isn’t calibrated none of your work will turn out right. It will all be crap.
