The flash is there. Like i said before it has just been re-composited for the SE's, but it IS there and it lasts for the same number of frames. From left to right; Original (same as your VHS), Blu-Ray & Revisited:http://i.imgur.com/kNoF4Kh.jpg" width="631" height="497" />
The original though is a lot more pronounced and the white blotch works better than the yellow tinted one in the SE. But the background is darker in the original so if the blotch was white in the BD it may not look exactly the same.
It's also a different size and shape.
But I think it looks better in the original without the yellow tint and is a lot more noticeable to the viewer. The SE although clearer in picture has Bleeched out the effect.
Perhaps the sky is too bright in the BD in this shot?
It's a similar problem in the asteroid field chase (and throught the movie) all the Blue Haze in the starfield has been washed out and the tint to the stars (although perhaps considred bad) looked better.
The colors are totally wrong in the last image but it shows up the amount of blue in the black on the right of the picture.
It's a shame that all the color got washed out of the starfield along with the subtle blue haze.
I think the revisited asteroid chase is brilliant with the additional asteroids but because the stars are white they get lost in amongst the distant asteroids in some shots.
Re adding the Blue tint and Haze would also fix this and stay truer to the original. It might even give the shots further depth.
But perhaps not with the large stars shown in this image as amn example. The planet Hoth reflection could also account for the change in coloration in the immediate area of dust but this example image is also too blue but it gets the point over reasonably.
This is perhaps the best example of the damage that has been done to the Look of the film.
Perfectly straight aura around a planet it looks so incredibly unnatural and fake when although the shot looks better by removing the matte lines it lost it's realism totally. You would expect a more or less straight aura at a distance but this close to the planet The original film is more correct and looks better and less harsh.
A quick Mock up using a revisited still trying to replicate a GOUT starfield
