Just going back to the screengrabs on page one, I like the look, but it is more like how Star Wars would look if graded for today's audience, and is way more contrasty and way more saturated than any of the prints.

That isn't necessarily a bad thing, people expect that look now, but the 70s prints are much less saturated, which was common in films of that era.

Those screencaps were taken using the old settings that has a higher contrast setting and look more saturated than they should because they were taken directly from the preview of the program I use to regrade, that always has more saturated colours than the resulting encodes. You'll be able to judge more accurately the image dynamics from the videos themselves.

As for being more saturated than the prints though, i've seen a lot of shots taken from prints than have punchy colours with rich technicolour fleshtones, like the senator shots. Surely the colours are meant to have that richness to them rather than being desaturated like the GOUT? I'm trying to reproduce a technicolour film print feel with these settings.
