If I'm not mistaken, AOTC and ROTS were shot with 1080p digital cameras, so they'll never be able to look better than Blu-Ray. Though I could be mistaken, as most/all digitally-shot films today are at least shot at 2K, and I don't think George is *that* big of an idiot.
At the time AOTC and ROTS were made, there were no 2K cameras on the marketplace. So the "original (digital) negative" of Episodes II and III is 1080p resolution. Very, very sadly. So what you see in the theatre, even IMAX, is basically just a projected Blu-Ray in some sense.
