Why not digital? For serial!

Confession: I saw Ep 2 in every format they released it on in the theater. Imax was the WORST. They cut out 20 minutes and did a pan and scan of it.

On the other hand... the picture quality was INFINITELY better than the matrix reloaded on imax which was extremely graining and keylined. IE. Over sharpened.

Yeah, that Star Wars was back when IMAX could only do 2 hour movies, so they had to edit it down.

Now they can do longer, but you're right, Matrix wasn't too good in IMAX.

Batman Begins was very good in IMAX though!

Yeah that looks ... lame . Just like transformers. Sorry, I'm going to have to disagree on superhero movies in general.

But, the star wars deal with Imax was amazing for one thing. That was the first film ever shot in all digital. All of the critics of digital cinematography said that you couldn't blow the image up that much and still retain the image quality. Lucas did this edit solely to prove them wrong and he did. The image was perhaps one of the cleanest I had every seen that large.

The all digital release was just as important as it fully completed the entire digital only aspect of the film. Beyond that, it did give Lucas more time to add in a few things he hadn't had the time to do prior to the main release of the flick such as add in some sparks and other visual flares. Nothing major, but it was a few finishing touches that added to it even if the majority of people didn't notice.
