OK, this time, there are so many that I won't reply to each separately. I'm just going to say this:

Like I already said, concerning the lasers, I already did all I could or rather was willing to do (I could of course go and load all those shots to AE and recolour each of the blasts separately but I'm not mad, folks) and all this was done after this WP. Also, I think the blasts in the 01:44:30:06 shot are some of the best looking ones in the scene and I had to watch it frame by frame and examine it closely to even see the blue glow you describe.

And I hate that I can't actually show you guys the IB reference pictures, so you'd see I'm not making this up to excuse my laziness (which undeniably plays a role in some cases too of course) but most of the green laser bolts in the IB references are much duller and bluer than you may think. The same goes for Ben's dark cloak during the duel and the pink blast frames throughout the whole film. It is actually interesting how many of the colour inconsistencies seen in the IB print were preserved in the 2004 colour timing. The changes in the darkness and tint of Ben's cloak during the duel for example match the IB print practically shot for shot, although they're actually a bit more extreme in the 2004 version. Another anomaly preserved in the 2004 colours is the green tie fighter described above. As to the Death  explosion, the colours are actually a bit less red in the IB print. The colours in the last video here are actually very acurate: http://petergaultney.smugmug.com/Movies/historic/Star-Wars-at-The-Senator/13089279_nXePV#!i=1495797105&k=kHq3bq9, check it for both the appearance of the 01:49:25 Falcon shot and the DS explosion.

So, in short, I might try and do something more about the Falcon leaving the DS bay shot and maybe some of the Vader's cockpit shots.
