...grading Star Wars now is really down to the individual.

I completely agree with this and with everything that you wrote in post #333, poita.  It's what I've believed for some time.

1) The IB Techs are all too green, Senator print included.

Even though this is true, I still absolutely love the way all the green makes Star Wars look.  It feels right to me somehow, and I don't want my go-to version to look any other way.

Let's hope that this new tool will lead to more people's finding a release that pleases them in terms of color.

Perhaps it's not strictly accurate to the scene, but the greenish shadows combined with just slightly reddish/blue highlights do give a nice 'antique' or 'romantic' look to the film, in my opinion. It may be partly a time period color choice combined with the natural shifts in the Technicolor process, but the Technicolor version of Star Wars is what made me fall in love with the color of the film more than anything else.
