True enough, with the exception that "Possible reference?" suggests making it a Rosetta stone or disregarding all the other sources. We're all here searching and surmising because we haven't worked on Star Wars in the 1970's, either.

Yes, but an on set photo just isn't really a good reference to take colors from directly in general, much less scanned from a magazine.

BTW, did you know (perhaps by your workflow?) if you applied a 30% saturation increase and a 30% strength 9300K temperature (with "remove color cast") to the laserdisc capture of that frame (from the 2006 DVD), it looks amazingly like your v2.0?

Yeah, I know, that's actually where the v2.0 timing comes from. I had to adjust the BD footage to look more like the GOUT (with saturation increased) to match the area surrounding the sabre. And then I wasn't able to regrade it without causing trouble in other areas, so I just pretty much kept it.
