was just watching the 1981 re-release trailer from my 2004 DVD set and only just realized that the colour timing is very similar (if not identical) to the colour timing on the 1982 VHS/laserdisc.

here is the trailer on youtube:

I have the 1982 VHS and V2000 video tapes but not the laserdisc.

Unfortunately I cannot take screen caps at the moment.

So was Star Wars re-colour timed for that 81 re-release?

Apologies if this has been discussed before.

(I actually saw SW with ESB back to back in 81' but I was only 6 and paying attention to the colour of the prints was not a top priority!....and even if I did there is no way I would remember .)
