AOTC and ROTS have a 2K DI anyway. The live action was 1080p with the CGI rendered at 2K.
For which the picture quality of those early Sony HD cameras are easily beat by most mirorless camera’s (Panasonic, Sony, Samsung, etc) today that all range from like $500 to $2000, vastly cheaper I’m sure then how much those cost.
Not to mention many of them shoot 4K. AOTC of which you can tell was the very early days of color grading for a blockbuster film for something sourced digitally because of how god-awful many scenes are in appearance.
Gosh, properly color corrected 4K scans of theatre prints of SW have drastically more rich colors and dynamic range. Puts those Lowry masters to shame. That master’s colors make the films look like old 90’s shows shot on video. They don’t look filmic at all compared to how they are supposed to appear. What many people think make the films feel super dated is the horridly bad colors on the transfer, surely on purpose by Lucas I assume.
