I might not get to watch this for a little while but I wanted to post my initial impression of this release from skipping through it. I think this is the correction to go for if (like me) you don't like the more lobster-like end of skintones. To me this is overall a more brownish palletted star wars and is quite reserved in its saturation levels on the whole, so that everything sits nicely together. Some (myself included) might have wanted to see a bit more 'pop' in places but I think that might have actually spoilt the overall feel/intention of this classic/retro look. I'm glad to see another unique release.

And of course preferable to the original Blu-Ray (imo)

Thanks for the review frank678.

Yeah, I was going for the classic/retro feel that I was getting from the film print frames I had as references. Poita said that the Star Wars prints were never as saturated as some home releases have led us to believe and the frames I have certainly confirm that.

Remember though that a technicolor release for this is also coming out so that'll probably be more to your taste. I'm looking forward to seeing how that version looks compared to this one, with punchier colours and that technicolor kick. :)
