Thanks for the information.
Do you know if anything was changed for the 1982 LaserDisc release? Does that release have any specific problems (besides being fullscreen)?
I should say anything I write is not based on years of reserch but quick appraisals/ speculative ideas /guessing. My subjective impression is the Starkiller 1982 Laserdisc preservation is the least red/pink shift effected commercial version I've seen. But it seems to have a yellow/green shift sometimes (in parts of the Cantina scene for example). But it doesnt have much information/bit depth and has been tweaked to fit the old style tv displays over-brightened etc. To me the highest up the chain of unfaded sources would be the Technicolor Screening stills/clips, the blu-ray deleted scenes, The pre-anh bootleg telecine, and the catnap 16mm (although the last two would have more layers of distortion because of how they were captured).
Again this is just my impression
