@Moth3r: Actually, the blockiness of strong reds is there in a lot of versions of the movies. Even the 2011 blu-rays. Since it's there in the source, I think it's better to post a screenshot which is directly comparable to the source to see the difference.

Not sure what blockiness of reds you describe seeing in other versions? I doubt any official video release have chroma sampling errors, but I guess you never know with Lucasfilm these days. Anyway, what Moth3r meant is the pixelated reds, easily seen on the stardestroyer's engine glows on your pic and Red 5's earlier pics in the thread. That's not in the source, you sometimes see this kind of errors on video material that has gone through some bad colorspace conversions.

Here's a smoother sample, with the script that shifts the blue more on the right side than on the left side (top sample), which is slightly better for this particular scene than the chromashift(c=2) (bottom sample), but perhaps not really worth the extra hassle.

Hard to decide what looks best on that comparison but I actually lean towards your old sample, maybe I'm crazy. Both are great improvements.

This is what I described earlier.

See the red around the edges atop the frigate in the upper left corner. Am unable to check if there's a fix for this at the moment, but it's definitely a video artifact and not something special effects related.

Edit: I take that back, it could be special effects related.
