I can’t imagine George Lucas adding blue tint for a 16mm film.Or for the entirety of the DVD/Blu Ray releases of A New Hope…
SO SORRY, you left yourself wide open there! 😉
I disagree… it makes complete sense to regrade the color for a digital release of a film. It’s standard practice and the tools make it easy. But 16mm film releases were such a tiny market, and they were in a sort of in a “grey area” - it’s not even clear they were done legally nor by a related studio. It’s doubtful that Lucas had any involvement in the 16mm films at all, and I doubt have spent any of his own money on them. It’s apples and oranges.
