After agonizing over some of the Senator Technicolor reference photos, I decided to make a comparison of all the sources for the "Force" scene:

I'm guessing, based on this comparison, that the Despecialized color correction of the Blu-ray was based on a Technicolor print, probably from Mike Verta, for even a theatrical print (Team Negative1) has a reddish cast. Granted, this is prior to color correction, but it is very similar to the GOUT.

Basically, I'm not worried about trying to match the Senator Technicolor photos in this case.

Also, the video has been rendered, though there is a glitch and I will need to re-render at a later time. Render time is up to 25 hours, because of the 7 video layers involved. However, the rendered results are shown below:

The pink flashes have been all but eliminated, and the highlights restored. After re-rendering, I'll see about showing more high quality comparison video.

Apologies for the long silence guys, school and all that ;)
