I can conceive of Episodes IV, V, VI, and I being mastered in 1080p at this point because that's all they bothered with when they digitized them. However, were Episodes II and III only originally exported at 1080p resolution, like, when they were MADE?
I know I’ve made some very poor decisions recently.
They were shot in 1080p.
I thought 1080p was good :P...shows you how much I know.

Holy carp! I had heard about them existing in a 1080p master, but that's crazy!
Did they just suppose the resolution of their monitors was the maximum the films would need to be for posterity? Who does that?

It's good for home video, but not for historical preservations of films. See the 5k cameras things are digitally shot on now. I can shoot in the same quality as the prequels on my cell phone. ;-)RicOlie_2 said:

There was an article years ago with George saying that 1080p is good enough. That it about matches quality wise what you'd see from a projected 35mm image. I wish I could find that article.

I cannot find the article but i think he was actually referencing the DVD release in 2004 and not the actual high def master. Which is worse he thought 480P was perfect quality for all time.
