That a documentary made in 2004 wasn’t shot in HD, (if only to future proof it) is weird.
Are you kidding? There were tv shows back then not filmed in HD, nevermind a silly documentary.
Shows shot on videotape, sure. Again, the industry knew HD was around the corner. Unless those involved thought a comprehensive doc about Star Wars and it’s impact on the world was an ephemeral project.
You consider EOD silly?
Empire of Dreams and Dangerous Days are my all time favorite film documentaries
