I was just watching the ILM: Creating the impossible documentary and they showed a few scenes from TPM. Now this was presented in HD and this was definitely the new TPM transfer that will be on the Blu-Ray. The difference between the existing HD transfer (which is the same as the DVD transfer) and the new one is astounding. Now this was taken from a compressed broadcast so some detail is probably lost, like grain etc, but now the proof is out there that it will indeed be a new transfer with the colouring fixed.

Now they also showed a few clips from the OT and, to me, the colouring looked almost the same as the 2004 transfer. I'm going to go through it to get some comparison snapshots and i'll post them later. But if the colouring is indeed the same then you can almost guarantee that this is what we'll get for the Blu-Ray.

Well, guess what? I was right. The OT clips were from the same 2004 transfer.

Gah, I can't bear to look. It never ceases to amaze me how GL settled for the severe tinting and crushed blacks which ended up ruining the colour and detail of his originals. The only real difference in colour I'm expecting for the Blu-ray releases will be Luke's 'green' sabre in ANH being fixed now. Maybe. Which LF will no doubt hail as a great new 'creative choice' that fans should appreciate. Either way, I'll be too busy watching 'ESB:Revisited' for it to bother me anymore. :)

As far as the new non-pink transfer for TPM, the difference looks striking indeed, judging by your comparisons adywan, although I'm mainly just interested in what yourself and others will be able to do with it eventually. I just hope that the 'deleted' scenes have been given the same colour-timing too though...
