Below is my post from the Spleen Comment sect:
"Looks like more going on in these screens than just color correction!
The frame seems zoomed or cropped slightly and the sharpness much better.
Note the R2 droid in the foreground."I decided to repost here just to get some feedback.
Thanks for the feedback. This is actually exactly what we were talking about today in this thread. The issue is that the shot was used from the wrong version of Harmy’s. So, the droid looks better because it came from the blu-ray. It actually never looked like that in the original version. But, the rest of the shot, especially the speeder, looks worse even if the droid looks nice. 😃
But you’re absolutely right that more is going on than just color correction in general (though it shouldn’t have for that shot). Some 35mm shots were cleaned up and included. The majority are probably things I could have done without (and a lot of people don’t like the 35mm explosions it seems). But I’m very happy with the way the shot of Luke walking to the X-wing turned out, as well as the falcon ‘peeling off’ as I think Mike Verta titled that shot.
