Link (valid for one week) to the version 1.00 of The Phantom Menace Trailer ‘B’ (Main Trailer) in UHD REC2100 PQ with Dolby Analog 2.0 (probably it is matrixed for simple surround?) and Cinema DTS 5.1 audio tracks:

A few issues are: the masking to compensate for light bleed from edges was over done, the version that got the masking perfect I guess was lost in the crash, so I’ll tweak that a bit before processing the AOTC feature and other trailers and in my excitement I started it making the initial .mp4 out before I went back and edited out a few of the largest dusts and before I edited out a few of the white dot glue seams between some scenes (in theaters would have been masked out but I wanted to present as much frame area as possible) but they are not all that apparent and distracting in this trailer (unlike for the ROTJ SE where the big white lines make a big flash that is annoying) so it’s not too big of a deal at all, I lost the capture sharpening processing in the crash and made a new one but I think it is dialed in well and probably is fine as is, black level I think is OK perhaps it could use a -1 step darker but not sure might be best as is. Eventually I’ll go back and make a 1.1 version with the edge masking refined and the tiny bits of cleanup.
A time consuming calibration process for the scanner was carried out and the trailer scan was also compared back side by side with the original 35mm viewed under theatrical presentation-like D56 lighting. This should be the most color accurate version out there (at least to my 35mm copy of the trailer). And yes, the grass on the hill at the start is quite golden and olive tinted and the grass/foliage in other scenes does trend yellow/orange/olive that is what the original 35mm trailer colors were like.
