I think it’s safe to trust things like this but not safe to trust images of skin if that makes any sense.

This would be say an example where I would say correct in the book but wrong on film but when it comes to normal footage it has a different problem.

I optioned to hue shift to get to a similar result… But that was met with anger and also ridicule that it should have shifted in hue in either some natural chemical form or deliberate but quite frankly it is plain to see.

I opted for trusting printed materials over film for Star Wars in general and the Laserdisc TV versions being better representations of what it should look like but the hang up is between the Print and the Blu Ray and not any tele-cine… Seriously no fucks given anymore from me.

Generally what I tended to find was that the normal footage was hue shifted to positive meaning that a shift negative to correct was needed for standard film. But effects shots were generally shifted in a negative fashion you needed to shift positive a certain % to correct for those.

All in all you can only blame this on Lucusfilm ltd and nobody else because films from the same era and even prior other 20th Century fox titles do not suffer like star wars does. So it is a Lucusfilm issue and you cannot put the blame elsewhere it lives and dies with their tech and their stuff not being as good as 20th Century Fox capable Kit. Or possibly Director Arrogance that it has an issue that it looks bad compared to other films.

It’s more towards the end actually where the Negative shift and correcting with positive shift happens but like I said it seems the film got improved for TV Versions and so on then they sort of started again in 2004 and using the crappy print look will always look bad as it did when first released.

But I should Add that I don’t think what Dre does is bad… It is a film still up for grabs and good luck to him.
