This is the still Mike Verta posted of a star wars print being projected with a 70s bulb,

What I'm trying to determine is is the Pre ANH bootleg different from PS78 colourwise because it was captured with a different bulb. Also is the cinematography of star wars dependent on this 70s bulb completing it/pushing it over the edge (i.e. the colours are muted and then the 70s bulb makes them shine , so it is not dynamic in contrast but still dynamic in colour). This is speculation - input/correction invited.

edit/add: or do some telecines just produce a slight hue change?
