I like the green in some places. But overall I strongly dislike the colors. Things seem washed out and tinted. Not natural looking at all. I would not put huge trust in whatever source you are matching to. A proper direction for the colors, sure. But I think its a shame to loose the vibrancy and correct tones you had brought back to Star Wars with your old work in favor of this new dull green look.

Here are some comparisons. 

New on the left, old on the right.

Beautiful starfield.

Another great starfield but the planet looks sad compared to the old colors. I wish the black of space could be a bit blacker.

Very green.

Leia has lost her glow.

The next shots are all about sky color and the green tint.

Overall, I agree with the green being a part of the original look. I just dont agree that it should be so dominating. I like the direction you were previously going in much more and I think that look is truer to the films than a possibly faded and captured in a way unknown (to most of us) piece of film stock.

 

Sorry if that comes across as hostile or that I am picking on you. I know what work you have put in to the research. Just my own feelings on the matter.
