Correct me if I'm wrong but as far as I'm aware that is how light works.
Ouch.
haha it wasn't my intention to be catty there, I remember reading somewhere that the cinematographer is usually the best paid job on a set, even above the director, because it requires the most qualifications, painting with light and all that. I'm just an amateur, my profesion has nothing to do with grading or cinematography or filmmaking at all so there's a hell of a lot I don't know about light, that comment was simply acknowledging that, so any sarcastic tone was completely unintentional.
Here's the shot you posted:
And here's the same frame with my current settings:
If you changed the fleshtones of your shot to match the fleshtones in my shot, I expect that the colour of the clothes would be fairly consistent with the colour of the clothes in my later shot that you refered to. That said, with this film, you have to be willing to accept a certain degree of inconsistency in what I like to call 'rogue shots' compared to the overall colour scheme if you want to regrade the majority of it using only one setting to maintain some sort of colour consistency across the film without having to very carefully regrade it shot by shot with a very specific colour scheme in mind.
With my first release I only really stepped in to selectively regrade shot by shot with the Tantive IV sequence at the beginning when all the rebel soldiers are running to their positions, waiting for the stormtroopers to break through. The colour grading is so inconsistent there between shots that it was totally unacceptable IMHO, amazing that they released the blu-ray like that. The lightsabers has to be selectively regraded of course to fix the colours and a lot of the tarkin shots were way too saturated on the blu-ray so they had to be selectively regraded to reduce saturation and bring them to acceptable limits.
Apart for that though I felt the colour grading on the blu-ray was fairly consistent across the whole film (not good colourwise but consistent as least), give or take a few 'rogue shots' here or there that I personally felt didn't deviate enough from the overall colour scheme to warrant selective regrading of those shots.
