The old BD audio should be fine as long as it isn't compressed poopy 192k DD. I would assume it is some form of uncompressed?

By the way, at ten million dollars, STAR WARS was not an ultra low budget film and Lucas had proper control of how the prints looked.

Carpenter and Cundy had no such freedom on the 350k budgeted Halloween, which is why they both have stated the 99 transfer was what they would have done had they been given the time and money to properly color time the film.

Heck, I understand. My first short film was shot on 16mm and I could only afford two passes at color timing and that was that. Despite it not being what I wanted we were out of money and pretty much said 'it is what it is.' When I was finally able to scan the negative for an HD transfer I had it tweaked to the max, making it look like I had always intended. It wade a huge difference.
