Talking about specific resolutions is rather pointless when it comes to film. I don't know what test patterns they use or how they get them on film, but to say that film is DVD quality is ridiculous.

From my own viewings I'd say that 2k is maybe equivalent to a decent 35mm viewing, give or take. That is to say I've seen 35mm that was worse and 35mm that was better.

And I'd tend to agree that it's probably projection related a lot of it because there's this one theater that is always blurry regardless of what they show, and another that is crystal clear. But in the clear one 2k is substantially less clear than film. So I don't know.

Star Wars is also not the clearest of films so 2k is probably adequate for it in most cases.
