As you can see the final colouring of the TIE's is very subtle and not the oversaturated blue of the originals:

That's pretty much how they look in the youtube clip.

I don't know... I know it's your edit, so the worst I can do is gripe, but I guess it's the thought of going back and revising A NEW HOPE that is buggin' me more than anything.

You have this clip with the grey TIEs, and I never thought they blended in so much that I couldn't see them. Same thing with the first fleet shot (since they're flitting in and out anyways, there's never really a chance for them to disappear amongst the SDs, as the film edits are every few seconds already).

I still wish they were a bit more grey than blue... darker, maybe, but like the Enterprise from MOTION PICTURE blue grey. The "blue" blue TIEs always came across as bad matte effects due to the heavy or blatant nature of the coloring.

I know it's a slight change, but still, an example of just making them a bit more grey (or just a darker grey)...
