I like the direction of the color overall, but noticed the highlights are being pushed to the point of clipping in bright scenes. For example look at these shots (Bluray on top, your grade on the bottom).

What's lost in the Bluray can't be brought back but there is a natural fall-off to the highlights that becomes a hard clip in your grades. Are you doing shot-by-shot color adjustment or trying to come up with one setting that works for a whole scene or the whole film?

Can I ask which of the clips did you take those screencaps from, the new settings or the old settings?

As for whether i'm using one setting or doing a shot by shot colour correction, the answers both. Basically a lot of the early tantive IV shots have to be colour corrected shot by shot, the grading is totally inconsistent on the blu-ray. Also all the lightsabers have to be selectively colour corrected. Apart from that though and the scenes taken from the german hdtv transport streams that require different grading to fit with the regraded blu-ray footage, the rest uses a single setting because I feel that it makes for a more consistent film in terms of overall grading. I was very happy with the results I got with my first semi-specialised releases doing it this way so i'll be doing it the same this time.
