Another nice property of the color matching algorithm, is that it does not require the reference to have the same quality as the source. Although it's not Star Wars, I thought it was nice to share this comparison. There has been a lot of debate about the color timing of the Raiders of the Lost Ark bluray, and some prefer the HDTV broadcast known as the WOWOW. Here's an example of color correcting the bluray using a screenshot of a 16 mm print of Raiders of the Lost Ark, that has most of it's colors intact.
An interesting aspect of this color match, is that Indy has a more natural skin tone in the color corrected frame, than in either the bluray or the WOWOW.
That's really great looking, especially since I think that the Blu Ray looks better than WOWOW in that particular shot. That one just blows both of them out of the water.

I'd be far more interested in seeing Indy 4 color matched using the first 3 films.
I'd be more interested in Indy 4 being more like the first 3.
