on the video master. So if he wanted to complete his film, why didn't he did it in film resolution
(at least 2K) and keep the files as a digital archival copy, or record it to a new clean negative.
because now if there are any future cinematic releases, they'll have to do it again.
Rerender the Jabba, repaint all the stuff they did. It's silly.
If this is the final edition of SW (as SW has said himself), then why do it in HD?
Or worse, does he actually consider this HD data as his new "original"?
That would be dumbing down beautifull images to HD data. I guess the opticals are
not very glorious, but there are a lot of clean nonFX images that deserve better
than just HD resolution.
