I think Jaws is more saying they didn’t study it when making Rogue One because it’s the black sheep, not that it wasn’t restored for that reason.
I said that and you are correct in my intended meaning.
oops…
Don’t worry about it.
Laserdisc at the time was an entirely new phenomena in terms of home media. 4K is similar enough to blu-ray that it doesn’t justify laserdisc prices. When all we had were tapes, laserdisc was groundbreaking. 4K blurays, not as big of a jump.
I think the fact 4k is more of a niche market, and one that wants the best home theater experience possible, justifies the premium somewhat, at least in the minds of the people who set the price. With cheap online streaming, something Blu-ray didn’t have to compete with at this point in its life, there’s going to simply be less demand.
