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.
Yes I am aware of that Technicolor print......it does indeed look beautiful and different to the Blu ray.
A standard 1977 35mm deluxe print(not Technicolor) would also have deferred from this print.
Those photos actually reveal how grainy those opticals were:

Those yellow splodges on Luke's white costume are indicative of the extra grain present in those shots.....I'll take the Blu ray thanks.
The Blu ray would also need to be run side by side with this IB tech 35mm under the same conditions to be in order to ascertain exactly how they differ.
But the VHS's,Laserdiscs ect ect also looked nothing liked that technicolour print either yet are not subjected to the same criticism that the Blu ray is?
just saying.
