35mm release prints were notoriously inconsistent from one print to the next and even from the showing of a print to the next showing of the same print!

It is one of the reasons(if not the main reason) why they have been phased out.

Francis Ford Coppola admitted h could not remember what the original Godfather looked like......who can blame Lucas for being the same with Star Wars.

 Despite the inconsistencies you claim, I'd take that any day to the consistently messed-up colors of the BD.

 Because the colours were so consistent on the laserdisc or on the VHS tapes?!

 I was referring to 35mm.

 

So you have  your own personal un-faded  35mm print from which you can reference whether the blu ray is true to it....or not?

 No, but from this : http://savestarwars.com/technicoloribscreening.html

It is clear that the BD colors are incorrect, and because of Harmy's and Negative -1's efforts, I soon won't need my own print.

 What exactly are you arguing about? All I was saying is that the Blu-ray  and 04 DVD colors are incorrect based on every other source, and I prefer a presentation as close to the original theatrical print as possible. So, you prefer the BD, bully for you.
