Right, it's just that I see it being infinitely more complicated to track down those scanned pieces of negative (if they even bothered to save the initial scan on a computer before they SE'inized it, and they probably didn't) and then cutting those back together with the unaltered pieces of the restored '97 negative. I think it would just be easier to take an interpositive and do whatever restoration necessary. Then they can make a 1080p transfer of that.

Speaking of which, what do you guys think LFL did with the '97 negative after it got scanned for Lowry's digital restoration in '04? I mean, I somehow doubt Lucas intends to have Lowry restore it all over again. He didn't want it to be done in anything higher than 1080p 'cause then it would look better than AOTC and ROTS. So is there any reason for them to hold on to the o-neg anymore?
