You have to remember that, as has already been stated, this is just the first colour pass. What depresses me is that people seem to have forgotten what star wars actually looked like before the horrible 2004 DVDs. You say i removed too much blue from the sky well it is so oversaturated in the 2004 set that it needed dropping back. non of this colour correction is guess work. I'm working with an overlay of the GOUT dvd for colour matching. Some shots will be impossible to restore back to their original colour so for those i have to create a natural looking balance with previous shots but at the same time sticking as close as possible to its original pre-2004 look.

Here's a comparison shot of the snowspeeder scene. As you can see my colour correction is pretty close so far to what ESB originally looked like before the blue tinting. The sky is the same intensity with just very slight minor tweaks needed of the blue hue:

and here's another shot showing just how bad the 2004 DVD's colour really is:
