Info: The Ice Planet Hoth - the colours in differing preservations...

I have seen the 35mm restored scan samples from -1 and Puggo Strikes Back and I have noticed that the scenes that take place there are very white with barely a hint of blue and that fact gives the Planet Hoth a very natural look and feel which I really like, however I remember poita once posted that those scans have it all wrong and in fact the planet Hoth was meant to be quite bluish after attending the private screenig of a carefully preserved print of ESB and Harmy himself stands by this, so much so that while I was watching ESB DeEd V2.0 I noticed he kept some parts of Hoth blue but something didn’t sit quite right with me when watching it, particularly the Battle of Hoth in which I felt the colour timing looked very artificial and the blue skies clashed with the rest of the frame in a way that looked unpleasant.

I don’t get that same feeling from PSB and -1 restorations and in fact the whitish Hoth IMO flows much better with the rest of the movie, and I’m even starting to suspect that due to the differences in photochemical processing at the time some prints of ESB had the naturalistic white Hoth while others had the colder bluish Hoth, but that is pure speculation on my behalf and I would like to know what Harmy, Puggo, poita and -1 have to say on the matter.

I would like to finish by apologising if this topic has already been discussed.

Well yeah, that's the only instance of blue I've noticed in your print Puggo. However in that instance it doesn't feel anywhere near as intrusive as it does in the Blu-Ray.
