Yes; I think something between the two is a good approach to take.  As long as the result looks natural and consistent, I do not think it matters greatly what the film is "supposed" to look like.

 

Yes, you saw the PDE, so you know that's the approach I tried to take with the colours and will be maintaing that here as well.

Harmy, I would go with the SE in all those shots apart from 2.  I simply cannot stand even the most fleeting glimpse of the SE Sarlac beast, even if it is in the distance.  I even do not mind the recolored R2.

I'll go with Chaisawash's advice, exept I'm still not sure about the laser blast not being a 1993 thing...

Will this sync to the GOUT ROTJ audio and will you be removing the SE Bantha herd in its entirety?

Yes to both ;-)
