I don't get it. Why do you guys want to watch Star Wars as an old faded film print?

Let the flames begin. They always do when I post my opinion on here...

Keep the old settings, much nicer.

The TechIB prints aren't faded, the colour and contrast will be (for all intents and purposes) exactly the same as the day they were shown in the cinema.

So it isn't about wanting to watch an old faded print, it is about wanting to watch a piece of cinema the way it was originally presented, and in most cases originally intended. Star Wars has a muted pallete, which is inkeeping with the 'used' universe it was set in.

Tastes change over the years, so if one was to release Star Wars today, one would give it the 'Blockbuster Pallete', i.e. push blue into the shadows and orange into the midtones/highlights. Crush the blacks and apply heavy sharpening. Then it will look a lot more like Ironman, The Avengers, Transformers etc. etc. i.e. it would look more like a current film.

You could also update the effects as they will still look all 70s and maybe replace some shots with better CGI ones to make the film better.

Oh wait...
