I still find it strange that the VistaVision intermediate film hasn’t been scanned at 8K. I don’t know if 6K is really that good, because even though VistaVision is high quality, how comparable is it to a 65mm film to warrant scanning it at 8K?
I’m not sure why you’re mentioning Vistavision, as only a handful of shots were printed on that stock. The reason this shot is labeled as such is most likely a typo, as the last ROTJ shot (palace door matte) was a VVI, and that has been carried into the title of this new clip. Either way, according to the docs, all effects shots are, in fact, being scanned in 8K. This shot, which isn’t a VVI, was most likely scanned at 6K. At least according to the documents.
