I haven’t used this forum a lot, but with respect, talking about getting hold of a print of TFA is really silly on a number of levels. There’s at at least 15 IMAX prints in the world, but you’d actually need to work for the IMAX corporation, or be an incredible engineer with acres of time and money to scan them. Watch any of their youtube vids to see how massive IMAX prints for a 2 hour movie are. As it happens the IMAX print of TFA has already been through a computer- there were a few frames of 1080p (or a comparatively low-res digital format) early on in the movie - so you wouldn’t be getting a digital copy of a film source, you’d be getting a digital copy of a film copy of a digital copy of a film source.

More importantly though, I think it begins to stray from Restoration into Piracy, when you talk about getting hold of a new movie. I’m sure the blu-ray will be absolutely fine.
team Neg1,
That line-up of your workflow is exciting to see! Thanks for the incredible work!
