As I said I would, I’m posting a sample of my WIP of the Mos Eisley entry scene. It’s tricky as hell for some shots, and not terrible for others.

Alright, so I’ve gone and expanded on this for some reason. So, let me know if I’m polluting your thread, I just didn’t want to start a new thread about “correcting” anything of Harmy’s, since people will get offended on his behalf. And it’s somewhat on topic here!
I always assumed that Harmy’s 1997 Respecialized had the exact same color timing as 2.5, aside perhaps from the CGI SE scenes. He was, after all, still emulating the IB Tech look, and never said much about improving the color. But he recently pointed out that, even so, he did refine the color timing a bit. Some shots are still too green/yellow for my taste. But others are improved quite a lot. The luma curve is better all around.
So, using that source for some of the not specialized shots, I went about trying to re-color Despecialized 2.5 using a combination of Harmy’s versions and manually adjusting the color. If anyone wants to take a look, or even provide feedback, I’ve made a comparison video of part of the film, temporarily hosted here: http://we.tl/uJCZ7liTee
Some of the shots are greatly improved, in my biased opinion. Others need work, and a couple others I think I’ve mucked up. 😃
