I think what we would need is a hybrid version of all the best parts taken from the best sources to achieve what needs to be done getting it to look as close to the original as possible. So we could have a mixture of GOUT/04SE/97SE for particular parts but not too much that it becomes jarring between sources. As we know, that working from one source has its limitations, and in this case the GOUT source doesn't have all the colour information in parts that would be needed to recolour time it.
I've been thinking about hybridizing DJ's GOUT V3 and 97 SE V2 sets. That way, you don't have the immensely drastic difference in quality you get when combining the GOUT and the 04 DVD, but you still get better-than-GOUT quality for most of the movie.
This is not an "I'm definitely going to do this" thing, I'm just thinking about it. I would also do a full color pass at least scene by scene, if not shot by shot (depends on how much time I want to sink into working on this).
Oh, and csd79 & Adywan, your color tweaks both look absolutely amazing. That's how I want Star Wars to look, man ... fucking GL ...
