Ady: thanks for the reply.  My main thing is just how RED the tank is behind C3P0 (and Chainsaw and Frink?  I don't buy the "not in use" bit.  The thing goes from slightly colored water to cherry jello)... if there was just some more consistency between the 2 shots (as best as it could be done), that would be fantastic (even if it meant making the tank behind C3P0 more clear like how it looks when Luke is in it).

Here are the scenes in question (for other viewers):





Here is an alternate take (a bit more magenta than red, but you get the idea, as the bacta liquid is supposed to be thicker than water):

I hope it isn't taboo to go EU or BTS on my first post, but as I understand it from set notes combined with the novelization, Luke was suspended in the water while his friends watched, then the bacta was introduced to the bath(and story, getting quite a write up. Reminds me of how it's described in X-wing novels), obscuring Luke completely in the dense color.  That the red tank sits there in the aftermath implies that the scene was completely filmed, but for reasons of pacing reshot/trimmed.
