I like the colors! Glad you're considering all the sources. And you're right, Harmy, the GOUT elements remain the weakest link in this project. The Cloud Car that flies past Leia's window is nearly transparent, and the moire on the pre-dinner walk-by windows is really distracting. It appears that you've also done a better job stabilizing the GOUT footage than on previous efforts, but it's still a bit jittery and noticeable in scenes where it's next to the rock-solid blu-ray. Have you thought about stabilizing the GOUT automatically first, so you don't have to do so much by hand?

Otherwise, looking great as usual!

Good eye. There's so much to look at in that shot, I didn't notice. But the car *is* transparent (or, translucent). As for the moire, do you mean the screen on the top portions of the windows? It's difficult to say from the small window (and less noticeable in SD), but how bad is it in the gout?

The GOUT footage is a little noticeable when you strain to see it, particularly in freeze frames. But that's better than something that looks great in a frame but falls apart in motion!

I find myself staring at the borders of unzoomed shots, looking for the spliced in GOUT borders, and it always looks so seamless. Given that the starting materials had very different colorization, how is this done? Is recolorization of bluray material done after the merge with the GOUT borders or are the colorized at the same time?
