I’m not sure if this change has been mentioned anywhere or if anyone else has noticed it, but I spotted something in the first scene on Tatooine.

When comparing Despecialized v2.7 and the UHD Blu-ray, I noticed that the sky appears to have been either brightened or replaced. I also saw that there’s a visible soft edge between the sand and the sky, which doesn’t look quite right. It looks like this change was introduced with the UHD Blu-ray.

Here are some comparison images:

  • Despecialized v2.7:
  • UHD Blu-ray:

I haven’t seen any discussions about this yet, and in a sneak peek video from Harmy, this change seems to have been kept—though you can briefly see the original sky during a wipe.

Would it maybe be possible to revert this for v3.0?
