If you look at the Technicolor caps the flesh tones are far more natural than the SE's.
Like I said, the SE's have an absurd red bias and that is precisely what gives everyone that boiled, been-dipped-in-tanning-cream look. That's why one of the suns isn't nearly as red in the Technicolor caps, nor is R2's light, nor is Luke's face, etc.
Trying to replicate that extreme red push isn't the way to go in my opinion.
Not the end of the world obviously and like you said the worst case scenario is me custom calibrating my TV for a Star-Wars only setting, but I thought I'd throw my 2 cents in since opinions were requested.
