In this last picture, you can clearly see how altered the colortiming of the sunset in '93 was, the original colortiming of this shot is definitely supposed to be red in tone, it's red in the bootleg telecine, JSC LD and also in Puggo's 16mm restoration. I think they tried to make it more consistent with the previous 2 shots of Luke in '93, the original colortiming is in fact quite inconsistent, it have Luke standing against a bright soft pink sky but is suddely deep red in the close-up of the suns, then pink again in the second close-up of luke, but the whole scene ended up too dark and purple/blue in '93 to look any good imo. but that was also taken to extremes in the SE transfers.
