First of all - what are you trying to accomplish ? Are you trying to re-create the ORIGINAL colours of the theatrical version or are you trying to get colours which will "feel" correct ?
Like I said in the first post, I'm trying to make the best possible "one-setting" for the whole movie. Unfortunately I wouldn't be able to recreate the theatrical version that way, but I can correct the color errors that run through the whole movie. (For example too much red overall, yellows looking green, faces looking pink etc)
Actually I don't think I have the patience needed to do a scene by scene correction of the whole thing, (and that would also need more reference materials) but I feel this is a step in the right direction, just like my blu-ray settings.

Understood. If you can get an invite to his forums he would probably be the best authority on what goes where, if he were willing to look at Gout correction.
I am a member of his forum but I know how busy he is with his own project so unless I really need some advice I don't think I'll bother him with this.
And I have to tell you, yesterday I made lots of new curves and settings and did some multiple settings with SatMask (vibrance) to try and only saturate the colors that most needed it. After some hours of trying a lot of stuff, I didn't manage to improve the settings I've already showed you, at least not much.
The thing I tried the most to fix was the hue of cyan, to make for example Obi-Wan's lightsaber look blue in the duel with Vader. I found that changing the hue of cyan affected not only lightsabers but many elements in the movie, I'll name a few: The rebel soldiers' shirts in the beginning, the sky on Tatooine, R2's hologram of Leia, Greedo's skin color, the Death Star interior and exterior walls.
Considering that, I might just settle with the current settings, or maybe tweak them slightly. Then I guess it's time to move on to ESB.
