OK. I got mixed up because of this videonoise on film idea. But I understand what you mean. Isn't it possible it's on the 70mm frames like that?

Thats not part of the film, thats created by the digital capture and its quite heavy on these scans.

Yes, a lot of the grain on the 70mm print happens to look like video noise as well. Its not all, but theres some there.
I looked at my old SW Insiders last night and it seems as though these are all from a single print made--each frame sold is unique, so it looks like they got a 70mm print and cut it up into a million individual frames and sold those for $25 each on a mounted piece of plastic with a window cut out to view the actual film with.
I also got a 35mm strip of Episode I--it came from the limited edition widesceen VHS boxset. Even though its the only prequel shot on film the weird thing is that the strip I got is a wideshot of the podrace so I have a 35mm piece of film of an all-digital image that was created entirely in a computer. I was always really dissapointed by that. Its like cheating.
