Well despite the extremely unlikely prospect that a retro fullscreen/analog revival kicks in sometime in the future, I did find I could dig better colors out of another source, which was the Starkiller 82 Preservation, again it degraded the image but again working with original raw captures of the source laserdisc might yield a more pleasing result (or maybe not). Also someone who understood working color correction programs properly might get a more refined result.
The point for me was to try find the least red-shift damaged digitized/digitizable source and see what came out through color correction...

I would probably avoid doing a color restoration project on a laptop. That is about as far away from a calibrated monitor as you can get. Especially with some of the terrible viewing angles on those things.
No offence, as I am sure that some of these look good on your laptop, but to the rest of use they look terrible. Again, it may just be the setup that you are using.
EDIT: also, how much does Mark Hamill look like Jane Krakowski (Jenna Maroney from 30 Rock) in that pic? creepy.
