I've always wondered how does on go about making a font file - or better yet, adjusting an existing one - that would seem like the best solution here.

Hi, Harmy.
OK, I just watched the whole thing and here's my feelings about it. I'm no expert, but hey, what the hell... To thank you for your hard work, the least I can do is to convey you my impressions.
Isn't this shot too bright, like the Obi-Wan encounter desert scene in SW v2.0 was?

I don't know, I think it seems pretty correct - it was this bright on the scan. Maybe it could be a tiny bit darker but it seems pretty well matched with the rest of the scene.
Isn't this all scene too dark?

Well, as you can see, there is no further detail in the blacks, so making it brighter isn't really an option.
I really enjoy the color timing you made, but isn't Yoda way greener in this scene than in the rest of the movie?

Yeah, I noticed that too - will have to look into it :-)
Actually, there are some scenes that tends to have more saturated colors than the rest of the film which has more neutral colors that I really like. In fact, I noticed some mismatches inside the Falcon cockpit:

Yeah, those are the unzoomed shots, which use the colors of the '97SE and I was having a pretty hard time matching them to the rest, sometimes I was more successful, sometimes less - I will probably give it another shot.
I really like what you made of this:

Yeah, me too :)
I suppose this is the best source you could get for this shot?

I'm not sure what you mean - this part of the shot it is directly from the BD and the 2nd part is from a very good 35mm scan - I'm pretty damn proud of how good this shot looks now. The only problem here is the blown out windows in the background but they are similarly blown out on the 35mm scan and it seems quite likely, they would have looked a lot like this in the theaters.
Aren't we supposed to barely see the edge of the window on top?

Well, for various reasons, I had to crop this a little more than the BD but only a tiny bit, so I doubt if you can't see the top edge here, you'd be able to see them in a cinema (and you certainly can't in the GOUT).
The last shot feels a little off to me. Isn't there a better looking one? Is it because of the transition to the ending credits that you don't have in a good shape yet?

Yeah, it's temporary - it was just put in from v1.0, precisely because of the credits.
Thanks again, Harmy. This is the best looking Empire Strikes Back I've seen so far. And I'm really glad you got rid of that annoying glowing bubble around the lightsabres in the duel scene.
Thanks :-)
