I wonder what the state of the internegative used to make those willits deigns film cels is in? The empire cels had good color and grain structure and contrast, the star wars ones while going a little magenta werr far less faded than they should have been given the territory of eastman filmstock before LPP. But the color on return of the jedi was almost gone and was faded severly, funny as the same year LPP printing really took off jedi was released. Not sure if these represent how the 70mm film cels actually look, or if it is due to the process of how they were scanned but they are here at this link.
I own about a hundred of those cels, and I can confirm that at least in my case the Jedi cels are fading while the cels for the other two films seem to be holding up pretty well.....at least the last time I checked. I had them on display for a long time but when I saw that the Jedi cels were getting reddish, I put them all in a box in my closet.
