Well, I meant there were certain aspects of certain scenes that looked a lot closer to the original colors (compared to the technicolor print) in some of the new screen shots, but the flesh tones, as always, tend to be tricky.
I agree that Luke doesn't even look white in some of those shots, it's a serious problem that needs fixed, but Obi-Wan looked much better in other scenes compared to how Luke looked. The skin tones are so tough to get right. Hopefully that's something that can be solved, if not, then I say go with the V3 colors, as they are good overall. But it would be great to get back as much of that vibrancy the film has as possible.
Looking forward to the V3 DVD set, which looks to be the best at restoring the original unaltered trilogy we've yet seen. :)
And that HD footage is looking really good. If some way can be found to keep as much detail as possible, while reducing grain *just* enough to make it look good on an HD tv, without the plastic artificial look to the people, then that would be great. :)
