Most of the VFX were done in the 8-perf VistaVision format, which is higher resolution than standard 4-perf 35mm.
The notes mentioned that the VistaVision VFX shots are being scanned in 8K, all of the standard 35mm is being scanned in 6K.
In this case, it’s a restoration with consistent and meticulous quality; the 35mm is perfect for 6K, and the larger VistaVision is ideal for 8K.
Isn’t that what they did for Star Trek TMP they scanned the VistaVision and 65mm neg at Higher than 4K resolution?
I’d love to see that for Star Wars without the DNR added at the end though. SW is standard 4 perf and 8 perf? No 65mm negative despite it being considered before the film was made. They selected VistaVision.
Sorry if I missed this, but is there any indication as to what is being done with the soundtrack restoration?
All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.

It doesn’t look like Star Trek was shot on 70mm at all, but they also used VistaVision for VFX yes.
The reason was because it was higher resolution and had finer grain, so when doing optical compositing and making a copy of a copy of a copy, the added grain wasn’t as bad.
Maybe if the budget was larger, Lucas would’ve shot everything on 70mm, but that was pretty uncommon between the 1960s and more recently when Quentin Tarantino and Christopher Nolan revived it.
I meant for the visual effects of course like 2001 and Close Encounters.
