Under normal circumstances I would agree, but that toned down, yellowish colour feels strangely nostalgic to me. Not sure though if I would take that as the definitive version of the movie, it certainly bothered me on first watch but a couple more spins I started to appreciate it. I'm more concerned by the noise on the sail barge exploding shot. But it just feels so good to see it not being all blue/teal with lightsabers looking like fluff rods.
Problems reside in that some of the movie theaters were populated by "student projectionists" :rolleyes Unaware that the big projection rigs had to be "calibrated" to make sure that images (and to a certain extend sound) were at the best settings possible. A good projectionist new that and I'm sure the studios made instructions available on the cans or by other means to instruct the people in charge how to give the audience the best image/sound possible. Since I saw ANH 30 times in 5 days, I can tell you that some of the showings were off completely due to "John Smith" not knowing his way around a rig.:behave...rant over
