First test at trying to reduce the teal-orange color grade and give it a slightly more OT look.  Still needs some work though.

JEDIT: As always, Youtube manages to ruin the video with bad compression.

 Night and day! I actually got excited watching it this time. Now the only real complaint I have is that stupid saber. Fantastic work emanswfan!

 interesting.  im not good at spotting the whole teal/orange thing but this trailer it looks like the overall color is slightly dialed back.  I think the nighttime forest scene in the teaser was fine, and we dont know if the blue light with the stormtroopers was because it just had interior light thats blue. 

But its nice to see that john boyega didnt crash land on a planet made out of Tang!!!BWAAAAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAAHHAHAHAAHAHAHHAHAHAAAAA

Color grading can be a great tool for fantasy movies, and all movies have some look that make it a product of its time due to technology and materials, but I dont want Star Wars to go on a bandwagon and take a look just because its trendy.

its funny cuz on thanksgiving I finally saw SW on Blu Ray at someones house and it looked ridiculous.  He is very knowledgeable about home theatre and had his tv calibrated.  Its a Mitsubishi DLP TV - and this was an underrated display technology that never caught on.  Anyway, even setting aside all cgi crap, the video quality left a lot to be desired.  There was one shot with C3PO walking in the desert and it was almost like he had a magnetic field and was repelling the film grain around him!!  another scene - obi-wan rescuing luke and he looked SO orange, John Boehner would have found it excessive.  I know there has been some debate regarding the color and contrast of that particular scene, but i dont ever remember obi-wan looking almost like a carrot. 

again, i am not as good as others at noticing this stuff.  so when I can spot the ridiculous DNR on TPM and sub-par, oversaturated tiknering on SW, you know its bad.
