Well, I read this thread through and watched the DVD. This preservation is incredible, and while it is very dark in places the colors are much better than I expected. This is a real treat, especially with the mono mix.

Interestingly, I remember it being said that the rocks when Kenobi rescues Luke looked a little white in Adywan's color correction, but they look very white here. I know that the 16mm cannot be used a reliable guide to the color of the 1977 prints, but perhaps Adywan's color correction in this scene was spot on after all. I just found this interesting - that's all. :)

I loved the Super 8mm versions of SW and ESB too. Many thanks, Puggo! :-)
