Theprequelsrule said STAR WARS wasn't shot in high resolution and I said it was, I never said anything about theatrical prints (though even 700 lines is still HD) but that aside, there was also a 70mm release of all STAR WARS films, which would definitely resolve way above 1080 lines.

The 1080/24p Attack Of The Clones was blown up to fill an IMAX screen which has a bigger surface area than the conventional 70mm screens (that the 35mm Star Wars was blown up to**)----with no complaints.

I saw ROTJ in 70mm in August 83' on a triple bill with SW and ESB(both of those were shown in 35mm) and the difference that my 9 year old mind comprehended when the curtains rolled back was the size!!!!

I obviously was not paying attention(or was aware of) concepts like sharpness or dynamic range.

It would be interesting to compare The Imax version of AOTC to a 70mm version of one of the 1st 3 star wars films.
