@analog:
The Falcon in hangar shot is this dark on my IB Technicolor print reference and it's a good thing too - when you look at the GOUT, you can clearly see that it's a painting and you can see the painting's edges, because the black levels are way too low. Now, you're comparing it to v1.0, but there it is not completely the original painting, it's put together from several different, not always original, sources and the starfield is brighter because it is a different one from the SE - in v2.0 the whole painting is put in from a single 35mm frame scan, so it's 100% faithful to the original.
