I guess it's a moot point with AotC since even with its 100% original color timing it still doesn't look like Ep1 and 4-6, but I still would've preferred it be out there on blu-ray with its theatrical color just as RotS is.

As an aside, I never did get around to seeing AotC projected digitally* but I did see it several times in 35mm (more times than I'd like to admit, believe me) and I'm assuming those colors more or less matched the digital version. If that's true, then I'm wondering why RotS looks exactly as it should while AotC looks vastly different, especially considering they claimed to have gone back to "the digital source" to make fresh hd transfers for the blu-ray.

*I saw it on opening day downtown in DC on film. As fate would have it, the only theater in the entire commonwealth of Virginia showing it digitally was only a few stone throws from my house. But by the time I wanted to see it again (a month later), they'd already switched it out for the digital version of Scooby-Doo.
