Harmy knows a lot about color grading, and a lot about every single shot of Star Wars. Although it may give you some satisfaction to try to point out the shortcomings of his efforts at some length, I don't think it's necessary. He knows them very well.
Of course. He probably knows a million more things than I do and is an absolute expert. That considered, it's even harder to believe why this exact shot looks so totally off with the whole movie.
I know the goal restoration is to restore everything with even their faults, Star Wars is an old movie full of flaws (and charme). May I know where Harmy did his sandcrawler shot reference from?
To be truthful, it looks like the correction was based on an old photograph, taken itself by a bad scan. That is not necessarily to be reference material.
