"Even with Star Wars finally out on Blu-ray, Harmy doesn't plan to start the projects from scratch.

"I also decided against using the Blu-Rays as a source for the new versions, as I’d still have to work in 720p and from the comparisons I've seen between the Blu-Rays and the highest quality HDTV captures, the difference is so small (being the same resolution from the same master) that it wouldn't be worth it," he explained."
