I woulnd't trust Disney more than Team Negative about the result of a Blu-ray edition, they have the media and money, but not good people working on Blu-ray production.

Just look at how they are butchering their Disney Classic with use of DNR:

On example could be Aristocats

but also the Sword in the stone blu ray disaster, or many more.

Same shame has happened with other Hollywood studios like Fox with Predator or Patton or also Paramount with Start Trek Movies. When they try to make an old movie look like new ones with the heavy use of DNR they litterally destroy masterpieces.

So I trust more the care of people loving this movie than the ones who only want to make money with it.

Many thanks for those information, while I was Typing I already got the answer to my question in the precious post.

The important information (thank you TN1 for explaining it!) is someone has scanned the negative at 4K, or at least a good part of it. This will guarantee a preservation of them; even if the 1st release (and it's already a very good one) will be 25GB file, having a 4K scan Leaves the door open to a future improvement. What the user towne32 says about Disney part in the story is true, beating them on 4K could be too much. Anyhow the great news is a 4K scan of it does exist safely stored somewhere.

I can figure out they invested time and money on this project, so they don't want someone else to make business with their work. If this is the reason I would totally agree with such a choice; in any case the only thing I can say them is "thank you for your effort". I would be courious about the source, I read in the topic name is taken from a negative, and this is a very good news, I was just wondering about the resolution they scanned at.

Sorry, I hadn't read the Whole 93 pages discussion,  but it seems they're doing an hard and long work with an incredble care! Why only a 25 GB 1080p file to fit on a Blu-ray? are they encoding it with HEVC at least to ensure best quality? If I'm not wrokg I read somewhere they started from 4K negative scans, Am I wrong?

Congrats for the excellent work, are you planning to release a 4K DCP of it? it would be really incredible to see it in 4K DCP too, lesser compression, the dream of all of SW fans
