Hi! A new user here, though I've been visiting this website from time to time. This time I came across it when googling on info about the blu-ray release. I've been a fan of the original Star Wars movies since I was a kid, and thus I was very happy when I found your edits. (and dark_jedi's, not to mention everyone who has worked on the audio too.)

First off, I want to thank you SO much for doing this. I have made similar projects myself, so I know how insanely time-consuming and exhausting it can be. I've watched SW despecialized so far, and I'll put it like this: From now on I'll deny ever seeing a so called Special Edition of any SW movie. This is the definitive versions. This is what they should look like!

Now, I haven't been reading through all pages of this thread yet, but I read you're currently working on a v1.2 so I would just like to give you some suggestions on a couple things to change in the new version. (Of course with all respect for you and the time it takes to do these things.)

I recently read about the Senator Theatre screening of the original SW, on this site: http://savestarwars.com/technicoloribscreening.html
I thought maybe you used these photos as a reference to some scenes? Either way, one photo in particular caught my interest and it was Luke watching the sunset.

This is a screenshot from your currently available version:

Edited to look more like in the cinema it would be something like this:

So that's the first idea. Then I have some ideas on color correction "issues" I noticed when watching the movie.

A death star corridor scene:

Same corridor later in the movie:

Compared, the second screenshot looks yellow-tinted. Here's another example, where it's even more apparent:

The stormtrooper armors looks yellow here yet just a moment later, white:

Last but not least, I thought about this thing too. In this scene, the shadows are blue-colored while everything around them is not:

Once again, thank you so much for all your work and effort.
