Looks amazing.

You know, I tried to colour correct this to see what it ought to really look like and that pink/orange tint is always there. The clue is the BG backdrop, which has white snow. But even when you dial the red out until that starts looking white, the walkers are still orange/red. Then I went and looked at HD versions of the original release trailers: looks exactly the same, mild orange/pink lighting hue. Not surprisingly, the clips on the THX WOW disc also have this colouring. In all cases, there is dirt galore as well, just like on this. High-def trailers are a really good source for original lighting, since they have most of the vibrancy in them; usually they aren't the final answer print, of course, but rather the on-set photography, but it doesn't look to have changed a lot. A lot of the asteroid chase looks like the Falcon was comped with a noticeable green shift. The other thing I am noticing is that the Luke-Vader confrontation on the Bespin shaft is quite blue in a lot of places. Maybe not as much as the SE, but if the green and blue Death Star can turn grey in Star Wars on the GOUT, this isn't unbelievable. Would be interested in seeing a shot of the "I am your father" angle from this bootleg.
