There are some projects made by OT members which should help this project along, but which ones to use? I'm thinking AntcuFaalb's Pre-ANH Star Wars Bootleg for the original colortiming. Thoughts?

I.M.O. I now think I would use Mother's version of PRE-ANH Bootleg as it now seems the most accurate to me to use as a base line. Then using its source bootleg for more saturated parts and the PS78 for a general feel of the light and dark levels as projected. In fact forget that: I would just use everything back and forth (!)

Once I'd gone back and forth between the things with the most colour information like the 70mm stills, the technicolor, quality set photos etc etc and seen how how things change when they get lit/saturated/tinted differently and how skintones look in different lighting conditions and THEN when I'd decided on the look I'd want THEN decide what I can get from the values Ive got. Do I want to get skintones as right as possible but then make everything else look green? Or do I want to get the best overall compromise for the whole picture. In this sense I wouldn't stick to any one source but find the best source for any scene and bring the Blu Ray up to the best level possible.

I think this is the way you are going to offer something different from Harmy's DE because I think he was sticking to one reference print.

That said I think using the technicolor media as a main guide for a palette is what I would do to decide between directions.
