That clip was official, posted on the StarWars youtube channel.

I wonder what's going to happen to the 3D conversions what with the 3D fad already on its way out. They won't even have episode II done before it's a thing of the past... again.

Yikes then. I was hoping maybe they fixed more than I had anticipated but I guess not. That scene is one of the most important ones in the film and it is completely visually neutered. It would be great for viewers if this is another one of those "not final version" official peeks, although I doubt it since the scene would have to be re-transfered from scratch in the easiest scenario. Otherwise you have to uncrush the blacks, amp up the gamma, re-do the starfields, re-roto the lasers and engines individually, somehow fix that blue engine haze (no idea how) and then properly colour time it all. Yeah, not likely to happen. Maybe we'll get one of the above.

Also, is the sound mix new or is it just me? It sounds like the music is even lower in the mix, but to be fair I haven't heard the 2004 mix in a long time.
