If I get you right Ronster, I think you're trying to describe a *very slightly* more gradual 'gradient' of blue aura/haze/atmosphere effect around Hoth in certain closer shots of it. Like say, there would be a quite pronounced shade of blue nearest to the surface of the planet, which would then fade gradually out to even more transparent and slightly less noticeable 'shades' of faint blueness against the blackness of space.

If I'm getting you right on that, then I agree, despite some of the pic examples above giving differing results. It's quite a subtle effect, but it can make a difference. And it would apply more to shots of Hoth that are nearer to us. While that would be a nice, if very, very subtle addition, it's no biggie I reckon.

To be honest, I always think the effect around the relative close-up of 'Tattooine' at the start of STAR WARS is a little severe in different versions, and should also have more of the subtle 'gradient' of 'fading' I think you're referring to. Hard to say, but check out Harmy's Despecialized Edition comparison shots for instance, for examples of how it looks in the GOUT and SE.

Either way, I definitely don't like the notion of making the *starfields* more blue however, as one of the highlights of the 'Revisited' edits for me has been how nicely black and white they are now. Just as I always imagine 'space' in the STAR WARS movies to look, and just my own opinion of course.

(I'm actually wondering if J.J. will stick to this established 'look' or merely disregard it for something approaching what was seen in parts of his 'Trek' instalments...but I digress)
