Well, if you are trying to recreate what it looked like when you were a kid, you’ve got it. My goal is to make it look better than I have ever seen it before, except maybe in a movie theater back in 77. And it is possible to restore the blu-ray. It suffers from fading and some loss of information that leads to some of its horrible looks. They over compensated and the yellows need to be enhanced (or in a few shots, recovered from another source). I am getting closer all the time to making it look like my correction of the GOUT (which, after watching the 13 version comparison is pretty close to both the Spanish TXH and the Moth3r bootleg). I still think what you have is too yellow, but this looks better and more along the lines of the 1982 telecine, maybe the 1985. The colors are washed out on the 1985 one and the contrast is too low. I prefer more vibrant colors. Not that Star Wars has a lot of that with the sandy colors of Tatooine and the gray walls of the Death Star, but there is enough if they are properly brought out.
