Working on both a DNR and NonDNR version is ideal, for the ones who enjoy the taste of that fine grain and those who want an actually good DNR version of Star Wars. There’s no sense in leaving one of them out of the project especially if it isn’t much extra work to DNR the film.

However, if it presents itself to be a pain in the ass… leave it out. DNR work can be done later down the line or by other people for personal versions. Preserving the current detail in the frames is most important right now. Keeping it RAW and pristine as much as the prints allow I think should be the soul goal of the project.

I think the NonDNR version is more than passable, it’s pleasant to the eye. I as well personally like the grain, so count me in.
