Okay, leaving all the differing viewpoints on correct flesh tones/colour grading to one side, what does everybody think about the dual hatch in ESB when Lando saves Luke? I've tried reinserting Harmy's great matte reconstruction of the original hatch with the rest of the blu-ray footage but i'm finding one thing a little jarring, the bright white light above the hatch. Where is that coming from? It doesn't seem to be part of another tunnel, there are no walls visible in that light. Not from outside, because the light outside isn't like that in the next shot, so there appears to be a lack of lighting continuety with the next shot, when Lando is coming out of the Millenium Falcon to pick up luke. That bright white light is nowhere to be seen in the outside shot. This would explain why GL felt he needed to change it for the special editions in the first place.  Wouldn't it be better to keep the special edition shot with no bright light that seems to have more continuety with the shot from outside the millenium falcon? I don't know whether to use the original hatch or leave the specialised change as it is, so please share your thoughts.
