I'm not saying the tan is wrong. I'm saying I didn't remember him being tan at all really. At least not significantly enough to notice the difference in skin tone between him and Leia.
But like I said, I saw this, and realized my memory must really be shot or else the 1995 VHS remasters just don't show this level of detail:
I only use the 1995 VHS's as a reference point for basing my memory on because I fully realize the GOUT is crap. That being said, between the GOUT and the SE's, I think my memories have been ruined.
