I watched it and everything despecialized looks great!
I personally strongly dislike the color timing. In certain shots things are so washed out and/or green that it is jarring. I thought your DeEd 1st Workprint was far superior. Someone with the skills should throw up some comparisons.
Certainly this was markedly different than I'd seen Star Wars look recently, and I was also taken by the washed out appearance of Tatooine, which I think reaches its peak as the sand crawler crests the dune after the "Look Sir, droids" scene. That scene practically looks as blown out as a Hoth scene it's so bright. But then I watched it again thinking that this was the desert with the sun glaring down all the time. Suddenly Uncle Owen's squinty eyes fit a lot better, a lot of stuff did. It's just blindingly bright out there!
Anyway, that was how I came to love the new color timing. But it is very very different. And as far as I'm able to tell I guess I did see it looking like this a long time ago.
