Trade Republic LUTs

The Look

Trade Republic is the brighter, more optimistic cosmic-opera grade. Where Dark Rise and Galactic Fall carry tragic weight, this pack maintains saturated primaries and lifted contrast for the more vibrant Star Wars vocabulary: Naboo daylight, Coruscant warmth, the Tatooine sun. Built for projects where the space narrative leans hopeful or adventurous rather than tragic.

Inspired by Star Wars: The Phantom Menace

Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace (1999) was DP David Tattersall's first Star Wars film, shot on mixed 35mm and early digital. The grade leaned bright: heavy primary saturation on Naboo's blues and greens, warm Tatooine tones, the deliberate visual contrast between Republic peace and the Trade Federation's encroaching menace. The look established the prequel-era visual standards.

Color Notes

The high saturation can clip if your source has heavy primary content. Pull saturation back if the look starts feeling cartoonish. The cosmic-blues variants are the most flexible starting point.
