they already have a 4K version

 Um, what?

The ones they recently screened, I guess. But, as savestarwars.com said (http://web.archive.org/web/20140312150335/http://savestarwars.com/specialeditionfail.html )

What is more, the Special Edition version here was only scanned from the film negatives at 1080p. This is to be the new digitial master for the films, and all of the new ILM work was done from this scan. So, if you ever see the films in theatres again, it will be from 1080 lines of resolution, never mind a 2K scan (I guess an 8K scan is just crazy talk at this point).

So, if true, they're just sh***y 2004's upscales, right? Is it good enough for them?
