That a documentary made in 2004 wasn’t shot in HD, (if only to future proof it) is weird.
So if anything, we’ll get an upscaled version of it
I feel like we don’t really know.
Did the guy who blabbed about it provide any kind of details?
Just that there were delays with Lucasfilm giving him the prints of the unaltered footage and that he was worried that if they wanted it soon they’d have to upscale things. This was about two years ago though.
Implying that they were actually doing a fresh scan of the unaltered material for the first time in decades? Interesting…
It was not clear what the delays were. He admitted to not knowing so it could have been anything from the scans being a work in progress to them not even doing scans. If the blu-ray forum man is right, then Disney/Lucasfilm has scanned, or is scanning, all of its Star Wars material in 4K.
