Also, speaking of the 35mm...I was wondering about something we were talking about on the blog before, and if the film (PSB) really is supposed to be that blue, or if it was to compensate for  the yellow of the bulbs they used back then (like how most of the Star Wars print they have is blue). I noticed a lot of the bonus trailer was very blue also, like a lot of shots from ANH that aren't usually tinted like that.

I didn't do much of anything to try and clean up the bonus.  The colors seemed really inconsistent - fixing one snippet would throw something else out of whack.  So I pretty much left it alone.  Overall it's too purple, I think (usually).

Hard to say on the blue-ness of Hoth.  After Ady's color correction it looks pretty much how it does when projected.  But I'm not as discerning when it comes to color balance - which is why I didn't try and do it myself.

The Hoth scenes actually looked right to me for the first time in a long time. White snow with hints of blue, and not the large blue coloring we are used to until the "night" scenes in the heavy snow conditions.

The bonus does appear to be a bit shifted, and I agree that it primarily looks to be a bit purplish.
