The whole look of ESB in 1980 is more blue-ish, and it is a flat grey on the OOT DVD's. I think ESB looks the worse of the 3 OOT movies, cause the colors are just so dull the whole movie. Check out the whole look of Hoth on the '04 DVD's, that is the true color of how Kersh shot in 1980, not fucking grey!!!
ROTJ is the most tolerable of the three, probably cause it is the most recent movie, and the movie takes place in either black deathstar scenes, foresty-like Endor scenes, and Jabbas Palace which is very dull to begin with. But just watch as C3pO & R2 start the movie on Tatooine just like they do in SW, Grainy!! Grainy!!! Grainy!!!
If you do notice the fleshtones on ROTJ aren't that bad, especially near the end where I compared the OOT & SE right after the death star blows up, and they are actually pretty similar for some reason? Maybe Lucas touched up the original Ewok Ending with Shaw in it just to throw a bone to the OOT crowd so they wouldn' t have to see Hayden Skystalker.
