As others have said, the countless other sources including location photos point to the fact that these scenes were shot in daylight. Comparing other shots between the JSC and the DC/GOUT, there is a definite color difference as far as hue and saturation are concerned. But these two scenes clearly have more differences than that. I'm 99.9% convinced that GL had this done deliberately for the THX LD release.


I did actually know that the scenes were shot in daylight but thanks for the rest of the info

I am surprised and really can't beleive GL would bother with deliberate changes in the THX release, considering how worn and noisy the print were at that time. Although maybe the worn print actually were the main reason for some of the 'deliberate creative' changes.
