I'm not quite encoding yet. But I know one thing for sure - I'll be exporting everything straight from Premiere, so I'll need advice on what settings to use there.

Here's a new little teaser :-)

BTW, 005, I couldn't find this in your comparisons. If you wanted to add it, I checked and it's an '04 change.

WTF?! I knew there was something off about that shot since the SE. Yeah, yeah, the green flame, but wtf has happened to the flame on vaders wing?! It went low contrast dynamically, but maximum contrast mag/green! I mean, you would have to be actively trying to screw that up to get that result. Again, I just have to shake my head when I think that a team at ILM, then Lucas himself sat there and said "Yep. Looks good, lock it!" to this stuff.

Just looked at the promo...Tatooine shot is looking good, but it was never a major problem in the SE. The burn though; I always thought that was introduced sometime after the thatrical run, when they were prepping transfers for home video. No kidding, it was always there?
