I heard rumors a while back about a digital transfer of Episode I scheduled for release. Does anyone know anything about this?

Reason I ask is that when editing this for my own fan edit, shrinking it makes it really suck compared to other DVDs. The rest are either digital or digitally remastered. Not so with TPM.
Thanks for the info.


Episode II and III were filmed with digital cameras, so there was a direct digital to digital transfer for their dvd's. Episode I was not filmed digitally, so hence they did a film to digital transfer. It's still digital on DVD just like episode's I and II, it just didn't come from a digital source. You don't need a digital transfer anyway, there are tons of films that look as good as Episodes II and III and were not filmed digitally. Episode I just needs a new, better transfer. I can't see though how they could ever do a true digital transfer as the original elements or film based.
