They're very good.
After seeing every old movie remastered in a teal colour timing these days, it makes me wonder if that will be the next thing for Star Wars in the future.. But I also wonder if it were teal, would that look superior to the current blu-ray and perhaps more in line with some of the prints? Hmm.
Thanks rockin!
If they did a 4k remaster of the Star Wars films, they certainly would much better in terms of detail and retained grain than the current blu-rays, no doubt about it. You just have to look at the detail/grain on the 4k remastered fellowship of the ring blu-ray to be pretty certain that would be the case. In terms of colour though, its debatable, it depends on how strong the teal tint is.
The Star Wars Original Trilogy on blu-ray has a bluish tint across all three films and boosted contrast. Based on my experience with teal films though and fixing them, if the teal tint was on a similar level to say Titanic or The Terminator, the Star Wars Original Trilogy would look worse in teal than it currently does on the blu-rays. Teal is a colour that really does mess up all the other colours, I still have no idea why the studios insist on adding it to every film these days...
