Hey guys,

I've recently downloaded ANH, thanks Harmy.

I haven't watched the whole film yet, as I'm waiting for the appropriate moment to watch it with my 5 year old son, in anticipation of the new films coming in December, which I'm really looking forward to. So thanks again to Harmy and others for putting these out.

However, I had a couple of points, and I hope these are not taken as flat out negative criticism, I just wanted to point out a couple of things I've noticed and to see if people had any opinions.

Sometimes to my eye, the picture can be a little too sharp. Especially noticeable to me, but not limited to, when Luke is talking to his aunt and uncle 25 mins in.
Also for me, the colours at times, seem too natural. I know apparently the colour tone has been taken from some original source, and it may just be my sub-conscience subjective bias remembering the look of the film from video, but to me, the colours can look a little plain, flat and natural. I was reading another post somewhere else, with some other fan edit, about the style of shots popular at the time, for this type of cinematography, when the film was made. And this point relates to all my points really, in that, I think the film did and should have a semi-otherworldly cellular glaze. A movie lens if you will. Sorry I'm not a pro when it comes to the terms. For me a little skewed hue and softness to the shots added to the make-believe dimension.
Thirdly, my final point, and still related to my overarching analyses. In music, when making a record, when collecting a variety of individual instruments from different sources of different studio conditions, there are a variety of studio tricks to help the composition glue and sit together nicely. One of these, for instance, is compression. It can make 4 different instruments recorded in 4 different studio environments, say, sound like they were all recorded in the same room. Now for those not following, I kinda feel this despecialized edition needs an equivalent trick. I'm sure the combo of consistent lenses and film-type and universally applied effects to films do the same thing. Has any been applied to the DE, considering, as Harmy says, he has taken footage and shots from a collection of sources?

Anyway, see what people think? Sorry if I seem overly critical or misguided, I'm an absolute novice when it comes to film editing/cinematography, so I could be talking rubbish.
