[citation][nom]dgingeri[/nom]um, no. 35mm film of that era is far lower picture quality of even DVD. While it didn't have pixels, it still had particles of crystals of various chemicals that gives a very similar mechanism as digital resolution, but not set up in a grid array. They had a roughly equal picture quality as a computer screen at 320X240 in the late 70's. chemical advancements in the early 80's led to Return of the Jedi having a quality about equal to a computer screen at 800X600. mid to late 90's films were at about equal to 1024X769 resolution when filmed on 35mm film, or about double that when filmed on 65-70mm film. Moving these films to Blu-ray won't improve picture quality at all. Films of that era simply didn't have the initial picture quality to gain anything from Blu-ray.[/citation]

Here is a quote: [citation][nom]Michael Kaminski[/nom]This is another undoable element of the prequels--filmed on 1080p HD, they have, at the most, less than half the resolution of the 35mm original trilogy, with some arguing that 35mm resolves 5000 lines, meaning they have just under 1/5 the resolution[/citation]
