Thank you so much for this resource AntcuFaalb, for the most part the colors are great, and it's nice to see that there appears to be more color consistency between shots than even in the Blu-ray.

However I did notice a heavy green in the shadows of most shots in the movie. Sometimes this looks accurate to my sources, but sometimes it seems like fading or something. In your opinion, do you think the film could have been this green, or did something happen along the line?

The green cast is in every one of my captures of PS78, unfortunately. (My capture setups are all calibrated to an accurate reference source, so it's not a problem on my end.)

I'm not sure what caused it, but I definitely don't think that the film could have been that green. It must have happened sometime during the initial transfer back in 1978.

We might be able to get rid of it in a way that doesn't interfere with the accuracy of the colors. Step #1 would be for us to find a completely black frame from the film.

The fade-to-black when Luke takes C-3PO and R2-D2 into the homestead would probably work well.

Let me know if you're interesting in moving past this point.
