What a great forum. It’s nice to hear insights into the actual processes.

Not sure I’d want to trust any re-releases from the studio as reference to the original release (which seems weird to say). What about the Tatooine scenes on the the VHS or Laserdisc releases? I wonder if they’re ‘over-exposed’. I know I saw the VHS back in the day, but I really don’t remember.

It feels like when they digitized later for the Special Editions, someone looked at a histogram of those scenes and said “oh, I can fix that”.

Anyway, really looking forward to 3.0 (whenever that is).
