I don't know if it's just me, but those red/purple frames always feel like they are going to give me a seizure in the SE 2007 cut of ANH.

I was trying to think of a good way to fix it. I tried using the GOUT DVD (after adding a denoise and a slight blue filter) as a source. But the SE has such better quality. Then I tried using SE07' as a source and just making that red not so... intense.

I'm sure you guys have much better solutions. I just thought it would be a good thing to bring up. All this was done in Premiere with the Avisynth plug-in (which was only using a deinterlace script).

I made an mpg showing the results of one of the clips in normal and 50% speed. It's compressed to RAR and uploaded to megaupload. Here is the link.

NOTE: In the video in the last clip I meant to say red "frame" color reduced. Not lasers. The lasers are still red.

Just for fun I recolored the exploding door scene so it builds up to a red.

I like what you are trying to attempt. The shifts from yellow to red didn't look natural. The colors were too pure. Other than that, very interesting.
