^^That's not the o-neg, that's the master reels of film from which the prints and digitcal copies are made... the o-neg is the camera negative, that isn't directly put into the reels, in that video (for instance) they talk about finding the o-neg for the 4-eyed stormtropper shot, cleaning it and then scaning it for use (they could have just as easily scanned that shot from the movie reel and achieved the same result IMHO). The "Master" of the SE is probably compleatly digital and not a set of movie reels anyway, It's probably a 4K digital scan done for the 2004 release where they went through and found all the o-negs they could to splice it in (digitally) and make the film look better. In any case, the idea that he doesn't have a theatrical print or couldn't make one easily is rubbish, after all for the exception of a handful of scenes, every scene in the theatrical is in the SE, just some are altered.
