This is something more for consistency's sake, and maybe not even possible, but it's worth pondering.

A New Hope looks noticeably different from Empire and Jedi, almost night and day. I'm not talking about special effects or even the hairstyles, but the way it was photographed and graded. ANH has very stark lighting and subdued tones, and at times resembles something out of the late '60s like Planet of the Apes than a film produced a decade later; a good way to describe its look would be "dry." Empire and Jedi have more saturated colours and they "pop" a little more. The shots also tend to be a lot more dynamic.

Obviously Adywan can only alter shot dynamics and composition a little bit, but is it possible to regrade ANH to better match its sequels in terms of visual presentation?
