Can someone please explain to me what was done to the -93 laserdisc version of STAR WARS besides the THX-mastering and the new audio mix. Because I have read somewhere that they tweaked the colors and brightness in various scenes, I have not seen the pre-93 versions in a very long time but if I remember correctly the scene with R2-D2 and the Jawas in the canyon was much brighter in the old version and in -93 it looked like it was dusk, another scene I remember looked different was "Binary Sunset" that had more of an pink-orange tint to it in the old version instead of the purple color in-93. (If you own the new fantastic! Making of STAR WARS book you can see a beautiful picture of this classic scene, just like I remember it looking before -93) Maybe I'm completely wrong about this and my memory have come out of photos I've seen over the years or the movie was just colortimed correctly for the first time on home video in -93. So can someone please prove me right or wrong on this, because I've found NOTHING on the web about those visual changes done before 97, it would be great with a visual comparison.
