Interesting info. I guess with regards to this thread, the color timing of output video would need to match that of the DVD itself, given that the idea is to take footage from other sources and splice it in place of the SE content so that the video and audio match as closely as possible.

I'm interested in more on the color timing and whether the green saber in ANH merits being called a mistake as I and others believe. Conceptually it is a mistake, as we know the saber is supposed to be blue story-wise. But in the vein of your points about color timing and shifts during digitization, was this saber re-rotoscoped, or did the shift happen in the simple transfer process of film-to-digital? And if so, why would this be allowed by LFL? To me it looks like a glaring error that inexplicably escaped quality control.
