Cool news. The 97 LDs have that color fluctuation. Supposedly in the restoration they tried to match Lucas's technicolor print for SW. (Wonder what happened to that print?) Some scenes look good, while others not so much...

Perhaps the reel with most Mos Eisley scenes faded to pink... Maybe the people who did the restoration thought that was the natural color.

EDIT: Also, is the 1997 V2 exclusive to donators like the JSC V2 or will it eventually be released on Newsgroups, torrents, etc?
