All versions of Star Wars DE are 720p. This resolution was chosen because it's easier on Harmy's computer (takes less time to render, less space on the HD, etc), better matches the upscaled GOUT sources, and in any case, the loss of detail from downrezing the bluray from 1080 to 720 was negligible anyway. 

Negligible with a capital "N." You could have fooled me.

A point I'm a little confused about: is 2.1 of Star Wars DE not full 1080p? Mind you, I'm not complaining: I watch it on my Sharp 40" LED and it's indistinguishable from other Blu Rays from that era (e.g. Alien).

I'm also not too shamed to admit I've become the local Despecialized Edition dealer among my circle of acquaintances. I'm burning three copies this week.

What are the odds you'll be using '97SE upscales for later composite scenes, i.e. asteroid chase, Rancor, Battle of Endor, etc.? Or are those cleaned up composites not as obtrusive as the Executor reveal?

Man, a month ago I couldn't have predicted I'd be thinking in terms of GOUT, SE, and all the rest. 

Couple questions about the compositing in the Star Destroyer scene. I know you're set on not using the Blu Ray footage there, but will the picture in that scene be cleaned up somewhat before official release? I haven't plugged it into my big screen yet, but on my laptop the scratches are pretty visible. As well, will you be using similar footage replacements for space scenes later on in the film, as well as Jedi?

Awesome.

Aweome stuff. :) Also, what are the odds of the 2.5 release containing a more traditional chapter select? Forgive me if this question has been asked, as I've gotten into this thread a little late in the game.
