Depends on which “home video” you’re referring to. For those who remember the old CBS FOX P&S VHS tapes, that thread pretty well does recreate home video colors. The “before” would have been more-or-less the THX remasters, so I guess younger people could think of those as “the home video look” too (but, for the record, the old VHS colors may have had their issues, but at least they didn’t give everyone purple skin like the THX remasters…). Either way, I’m not so nostalgic that I’m not personally delighted to finally be rid of all the various ways home video can get the colors wrong, so I guess my bias is showing.

As I said, I know that the intent of the project is not to preserve theatrically inaccurate aspects of the trilogy, but I suggest that Harmy should consider the fact that the pre-SE version of Star Wars with the Episode IV subtitle is effectively unavailable in high quality medium. The reason I make the request in this thread is because I recall Harmy voicing a willingness to create a version with the Episode IV title crawl before, and was wondering if he were interested in doing anything of the sorts.
