Don't worry, all of the projectionists lost those jobs to digital, so that's no longer an issue. I think that's a huge loss, but hey, I'm stuck int the past. I think if you go through the previous VHS, laserdisc, DVD, TV, and 35mm releases, you'll find that if the color doesn't look the same, it's a similar baseline, which looks completely different from the Blu release. I'm not saying that you can't prefer the newly revised look, but that teal and orange fad is relatively new and I'm fairly certain it wasn't the look which the film had in any incarnation before, if it was even possible to achieve with the technology of the time. I just don't see any way around the fact that this is a deliberate change. You could of course argue that it's a positive or insignificant change, but given how recent the fad of this coloring is and how many sites have reported on it, IMO it is a deliberate change. How much in changes the movie is obviously going be up to each individual viewer. Over the years the fans may have experienced a different color pallet, but this one is different enough that people notice it. But hey, I like 35mm, so to each his own ;).

- Besides "The films need to be the way I want them," has Lucas stated anything as to why the Blu-rays became the travesty that they are?
