Vader Arrives at the Death Star

Another look at the first stage of the colour grading being done for ROTJ:R. Again this is just the first stage and there are still tweaks to be done. This one, having the original 2020 grading played alongside the new grading may through out the perception of the new colour grade in places, especially with skintones. The 2020 shifts from having an almost fully desaturated image with a heavy blue filter (why the hell is endor suddenly blue?) for the space shots shifting to a more green shifted grade with yellow/ orange skin tones in the Hangar. Vaders belt lights are now suddenly blue in many shots in the 2020 edition too. Subtle colour tones on the Death Star equator mattes have been lost in this new grade, similar to what happened with the 2004 grade. So after watching it in comparison mode, watch it again while covering the top image and you’ll get a better idea of the grade. And for anyone wondering why the TIE’s are blue in this , well they were blue in this scene and others in 1983 right
