To be honest, I'm getting pretty tired of this whole colour debate. Sometimes I envy Adywan, he was doing his colour corrected AVCHDs before all this IB Print madness, he had it easy, the simple fact that he improved the colours over the 2004 version was enough for everyone to be in awe. Don't get me wrong, he did a great job, he just didn't have to put up with people being unreasonably demanding in terms of colour accuracy. Modern Blu-Ray transfers of older movies are often not completely colour-accurate to how they appeared in cinemas and they're still awesome releases, celebrated even by the biggest film buffs. I'm not saying that colours don't matter, they matter greatly, but they just don't have to be 100% perfect.
Hey you're the one that said this a few weeks ago:
"I must say I'm quite disappointed in you guys; making a blatantly careless decision like that, I expected a huge backlash and you didn't say a word. I need you guys to motivate me to do the best job I can..." :P
Seriously though, everyone here agrees you're doing a fantastic job, and I totally agree with the last two posts: it's because we all see the great potential of your project, that we are naturally going to be that much more critical about every little aspect of the footage.
I mean, just the thought of being able to sit down with a bowl of popcorn and simply enjoy Star Wars again, without constantly being distracted and taken out of the movie by ridiculous re-edits and crappy cgi, is obviously very exciting to say the least for myself and fans everywhere.
It is this excitement that has us all analyzing every frame and engaging in ridiculous and rather nerdy debates about whether Luke's lightsaber looks green or blue, and about how bright the stars appeared at the theater 35 years ago.
We all know it will not be 100% accurate. That is not possible. But we also know that DeED 2.0 has the potential to be great, and become the best available SW restoration to date.
I have no doubt, from what I've seen, that your finished product will look fantastic, and I can't wait to enjoy Star Wars again, just like I did when I was a little kid.
