Most impressive. Overall, I love it. I love that it has a "glow" throughout the whole thing, while also having somewhat muted colors. One of the things I remember about ESB from when I was young was that it was so less colorful than the other two movies.

A couple suggestions for V2:
- as Luke is running out of the wampa cave, it looks really weird, like it is missing frames or slowed down
- tone down the fiddling on the opening crawl - it casts a weird glow around the whole screen (at least on my tv) until the text fades away
- more color consitency during the first part of the Vader vs. Luke duel
- Vader vs. Luke in the windshaft could be brightened or have a little more blue to it (not much, though)
- you missed some blue R2 shots in the trip to Dagobah, I think
- add more clickable chapters in the chapters menu

In the end, I consider the results of your color tuning here much more successful than OCP's process. Hoth (for me) looks pretty well perfect. I much prefer this approach than the one in ESB:CE. I like too that you aren't mixing OUT materials in the same scenes as 2004 SE. Awesome! Can't wait to see the others! Good luck with the first movie - by the way - original 77 crawl, or ANH crawl?
