One thing I was truly hoping for with the Bluray release was the clean up and color correction and contrast correction of some of the great matte paintings.  The worst looking is the tractor beam shaft matte painting.  It's an awesome shot, but in 1080p, it is SO obvious and distracting.  The colors are WAY different.  The contrast is different.  Why not fix that?  So many other things were corrected and fixed, why not that?

A classic example of a good fix was the scene on the bridge of Darth Vader's star destroyer when he is standing in front of a bank of "windows".  The window he was standing in front of was a good, dark black.  all of the other windows were grayish.  Just differing contrast and an easy fix.  And they did fix it and it looks great now.

Fix the tractor beam shaft matte shot!!
