I watched this all the way through today. Very, very nice work on bringing the colors much more in line with what they should be compared to the official releases- really gives it a different feeling completely.
It occurred to me watching it that "Star Wars" is actually a fairy tale- not science fiction.
When Ben appears and uncloaks his hood, the entire frame turns really, really bright and white. He is like the white wizard with a halo all around him. That's why he wears a hood too.
The Force and the force theme are magic- it's fantasy, a fairy tale.
I don't know why, but I realized that for the first time, seeing it with the new colors. Anyway, great job.
I see Star Wars as a milange of a Western movies and World War II adventure films. TESB is where it starts going more fairy tale, with gnomes and cloud cities.
The original film just feels more lived in an real than any of the others, kind of like a film crew just went to another galaxy and shot what was really happening.
