The first color pass looks good so far, Ady! The blue tint should stay out of the Star Wars movies except in hyperspace, and should stay in the 'real world' scenes of the Matrix.

(I grew up with the Special Editions, and the 2004 DVDs came out when I was fifteen, but I gotta say, this version of ESB looks to be almost the definitive, the one that I'll stick with. I'll hold onto the official DVDs, sure, but this will be the one that'll be on my DVD shelf!)

And after the horrors of the color work done on the 2004 DVDs, this should be a walk, right?

BTW, the Executor is also blue throughout this and ROTJ (I think). I'm assuming that's getting the grey treatment as well?

Also, I have an idea for how to have Emperor Palpatine say 'Luke Skywalker' in the transmission, instead of 'young Skywalker'. However, it's too crazy, in my opinion, to be taken seriously. Some would call it 'thinking outside the box'. If said box is the Box of Sanity, I'd agree with them.

(...Man, I'm seriously gonna make or break my credibility on this site with this suggestion. All these people reading how crazy I am...)

My idea involves getting someone to imitate Ian McDiarmid's evil Emperor voice for the phrase "Luke Skywalker", and blending the word "Luke" into the dialogue we already have of Palpatine's. If the joint between Ian McDiarmid's dialogue and the newly recorded "Luke" is too obvious, perhaps a burst of static on the hologram could mask it. Who would do the extra Emperor dialogue, I don't know. Who would take this idea seriously... well, I guess I'll find out soon, won't I?

I apologize in advance if my suggestion is too far out there.

*takes a deep breath*

...Well, here goes nothing.

EDIT: My heart's beating so fast right now!
