Darth Editous, thank you so much! I'm testing the badblue parameter, and so far it looks like it does a slightly better job than my custom script. I'll test it a bit more and we'll see.

Could you try it on the "You'll be malfunctioning within a day" shot? IMO, that's one of the most blatant examples of those dark blues (or "purple shadows" as I previously referred to them).

Also, do your curves/corrections/scripts reduce the blue haze effect when the Star Destroyer engines come into view? The original '77 composite did have that blue lens flare effect, but it was absolutely nowhere near as overpowering as in the '04/'11.

The purple shadow problem is already solved with my magenta setting. Also the pink flashes throughout the movie are much better. The blue haze will probably get better now with Darth Editous's plugin.
