After a lot of work, and watching the films many times, I think I have color corrections for all 6 films (from BR) that brings them into line with each other and the GOUT of the OT. My first step will to be tackle the extensive fixes that ANH needs to just restore the BR version to the right colors in a bunch of individual scenes. The light sabers need work, the explosions, some shots have a high contrast for no reason, some of the darker shots (one in a Y-wing and most of the shots of the Death Star screen showing the approach to the 4th moon of Yaavin) are blue. Plus I’d like to darken the space shots to be truly black and equalize the opening and closing title colors. Once that is done then I can start undoing the SE elements I don’t like. But I have the overall color correction that I needed to get started. I have not finalized all the films, but I have the colors and I just need to tweak the darkness to minimize the crushed blacks (which are nearly impossible to completely undo - but which I might lift some details from other versions as needed).
