About color correction, some thoughts came into my mind... "I made this simple color correction in Avisynth - that is a powerful tools, and free - in, counting only time devoted to "invent" the simple script and testing it, let's say ten hours; this is my first attempt at color correcting a movie, and I'm only a young old padawan learner, but the result is decent, surely better than the original pinkish mess, so... why THEY didn't do color correction with the laserdisc master at the time (1997) with all their powerful hardware - computers and also analog gears - and software, or why THE OTHERS didn't make something similar when they broadcast the DVB version (2004-5) when surely digital color correction was easy and not so expensive as, for example, could be in 1997?"

The broadcast versions pre-date the 2004 DVD box set release, so I think the broadcasts are from 2003 or earlier. Lucasfilm certainly wasn't going to spend time colour correcting the SE's when they were working on the prequels and the DVD set, and certainly no television broadcaster would bother. I guess if LCD displays were commonplace in late 90's then they may have made an effort to correct the colour.

BTW, the latest clips look great!
