Hello Harmy,
I watched most of the workprint today and all I have to say is wow. I was impressed, even with V1; but, I think - for the first time ever when watching Star Wars - it showed its age! Now, I mean this positively of course. Never before have I watched it and it actually looked like it was filmed in the '70s. Suddenly it just feels like it belongs. This color pallet you've created is simply phenomenal and words cannot express how eagerly I'm awaiting the rest of this workprint... let alone the final release!
And also, I don't know how often you applied the grain filter. I thought you said only during the static grain problem-shots, but it seemed to be throughout. Either way, I think it works and I love it. There's not too much, but there's enough that Star Wars feels like a movie again.
A+ from bkev.
