Re: Star Wars OT UNALTERED Bluray!!!
The person reviewing Cinderella doesn't quite know what they're talking about though - they keep insisting that Disney must have actually painted over areas to affect colors so drastically, and that would indicate a really intentional and destructive process. All of those issues are easily caused by a lazy, heavy handed application of ten-years-old digital color grading software. I'm sure that if the OT is remastered, it will be done by archivists at Lucasfilm (under new management) with state-of-the art tools.
Everything we've seen and heard from LFL since George's departure shows a team who understand the importance and legacy of the properties they're shepherding. Unlike cartoons from the Disney vault, they have several iterations to distinguish a new version from and a long list of customer complaints to address/consider (which those technicians likely share).
A lot of the issues with the Cinderella grabs would be caused by simple grain removal, and the current trend of leaving film grain intact works in our favor. Even if they remove dust and scratches or try to lighten the grain patterns, the software attacks it much more intelligently than it did in 2005.
Call me naive, but something Disney did to one of their cartoons ten years ago doesn't make me nervous about how Lucasfilm will come at a proper OT restoration if they ever get around to it.
