Well actually Phantom was shot on 35mm no? But I'm sure the master is a 1080p digital scan anyway.

One scene was shot on digital video as a test but, yeah, 4k can work for Phantom Menace.

It's a shame the two later prequels can get 4k scans, but it shouldn't hold back the other four films, especially the originals, in their original forms (not even a question :)). I mean, a lot of films have 4k scans: Godfather, African Queen, the Godfather trilogy, and Wizard of Oz and Gone with the Wind before they got 8k scans. The Star Wars trilogy is arguably just as important as those other films, and maybe not even arguably (New Hope is in the freaking Library of Congress with Oz and Wind). I heard Godfather was c*** before it got restored, so it can't be impossible for Star Wars. Nice, 4k restoration of both the 77, 80, 83 versions and 04 versions (the 04s are Lucas' visions after all). Hopefully, it'll be done someday before it's too late.
