Some more film cell images I found on eBay, this time from the first film. These are a higher resolution than the ones I posted before, but lighting is much more uneven - you can see that the person who took the photos was shining a flashlight down onto the cells, so some parts will look blown out, others look too dark/translucent (and you can often see the texture of the white bedsheet under the cell). Some of the images have similar greenish tendencies to the Jedi1.net scans, others don't.
R2 and 3PO - same shot as in my earlier post, the colors seem to match:
"There's nothing you could have done." Same scene as one of the Derann images above:
Preparing to completely blow away Alderaan. Lots of warm golden yellow on the button lights:
Luke has a bad feeling about this. Unfortunately, the light source is too concentrated, so the image is way too blown out in the middle. Not sure if the greenish look is due to fading or too much illumination. The colors on the right edge look good, though:
"This is some rescue!" Again, some blowout and greenish highlights (though it's certainly not as green as some of the Jedi1 scans of Death Star scenes):
Red Leader:
From another seller, Ben Kenobi heading for the tractor beam, with a definite yellow-green cast. Not sure if this is due to fading, or due to the camera white balance - it's warmer than the Jedi1 scans, but still, I think it's *too* yellow-green:
Another seller posted some images which are strangely lit - they seem to be backlit, but the light is some kind of rectangular shape positioned at an angle so that part of the image is blown out, and part is too dim.
Leia captured - wow, that's blown out. It looks cold where the light is strongest, but you can see yellow and green and cyan tendencies on the right side where there's not as much light:
"Secret mission? What plans? What are you talking about? I'm not getting in there!"
The Jawas - a nice reddish-gold hue, it feels right to me:
Another seller's photo - this one of Leia and R2. Looks too cool?
A big, sharp, high-res image of Luke, Ben and R2:
Notice how close the color is to this photo Mike took at that IB screening (though his seems a little more muted):
Some more big, high-res photos. First, the Death Star conference room:
It's got some yellow-green in the walls and uniforms, but notice how much better the skin tones look, and how generally warmer it looks, than the Jedi1 scans from this same scene:
Han introduces himself - pretty strong golden yellow cast here:
Chewie in the cockpit. Seems too yellow-green:
Vader grills Leia on the Tantive. Again with the odd light source, not sure what to make of this image:
R2 in the Sandcrawler - again, it has that warm look Mike has talked about, but the photo is kind of soft and there aren't many distinct colors visible, so again I'm not sure what to make of it:
Luke takes his first step into a larger world. Nice and warm, natural skin tones, this is another one that looks about perfect to me:
Just found this one from Empire. Looks pretty blue (ignore the reflections):
Also missed this very good pic of an Empire cell - Lando invites our heroes for a little refreshment:
OK, that's about all the legible film cell images I've been able to find. Sorry, no Jedi, every single cell is faded.
