these shots provide more evidence that the SC is an invaluable source for the ultimate preservation. It's not just that they are brighter (though they are) - they actually do contain more detail than any of the others (which are all DefCol or "Faces"). This indicates that LFL did more than add temporal smoothing for the THX editions - it seems they also played with contrast, and probably brightness and colour. The Tantive whites are screwy on every edition and I think the issues with shot #4 have to do with the general oversaturation of this transfer. The colours themselves look good overall besides this. I'm looking forward to D_J's new edition.
