Note : About 4.82% of the image seen in 2004 has been cut off due to the film being zoomed in for the 2019 variation. Generally, 60%-70% of the movie has been shifted right, 10% has a centered framing and 10% shifted to the Top-Left corner. In the DIF images, the Yellow outline around 2019 shows the reduced visible frame.

Questions : Would like to better understand the color reprocessing which was undertaken in 2004 and determine how much of that correction was carried over into 2019 and what was left out or not reapplied.

All times are approximate.

Let us know of things you find.

0:00:41 - In 2019, The Opening Crawl was zoomed in.

0:01:54 - In 2019, The opening shot of the Star Destroyer has a pan right added to the pan down. Note: This right of center location seems to be the overall placement for 70% film.

Note: The Probot segment at the beginning of the film is generally centered. Believe this is because they chose to leave SFX shots with just a zoomed in reframing.

0:07:51 - Reframing - Cuts off Rebel on the right at end of the shot.

0:13:25 - Example of 2004 unusual color palate. Luke's dark face is a sign that Lucasfilm applied selective color correction in 2004.

1:26:45 - In 2011, Smoke and smelting embers were added.

1.27.08 - Chewie's eyes were power windowed. Determine if this is a 2004 or 2019 change.

2:01:34 - In 2019, the last shot of the film is reframed differently, tight left.

2.02.07 - In 2019, the Credits were reframed to follow the wipe of the last shot which was reframed left. This leaves the credits off centered. [Note: No 2019 yellow border, this are these two variations aligned without a modified scaling or reframing.

2:06:04 - In 2019, the Credits for 'Industrial Light and Magic' were retimed, but only until the ILM name leaves the screen, then credits realign with previous timing.
