For lack of a proper ESB regrade of the BluRay like the one used for ANH and hopefully for ROTJ, I wonder if a LUT could do the trick.

Ideally, I’d like something in the vicinity of the 1997 colors for ESB. I know a simple LUT would only go so far, but I wonder if it’d be good enough. The existing release of this project for ESB is fine, but the picture quality leaves something to be desired, since it was based on outdated (though still really cool) work from Adywan based from the HDTV master set at about 13GB in size. I would still very much like to remaster my ESB release.

I know I’m only setting myself up for disappointment, but I’d love to have my presentation of all eight saga films by the end of the year. I can’t keep doing this forever and am eager to wrap things up, though without making sacrifices in the end result. I think it’s gonna be a bugger getting an eventual IX edit completed since I’ll have two little ones running around by then.

Anyone good at making LUTs?
