The amount of blue can easily be tweaked by increasing or decreasing the opacity of the de-blued clips before applying the LUT.

Fully agreed- 50% deblue + LUT is by far the best. It’s the perfect blend between looking “real” but still having that slight blue glow… and you’re so right haha, the original looks even more ridiculous now
50% deblue with LUT looks fantastic IMO!
You know, I was gonna go on the side of full de-blued but then I did a comparison with ROTJ Obi:
And I have to agree, the 50% reduction + LUT looks pretty good.
