I always hear people/actors/directors say, this tape or film is x meters long, it is this size, etc. do they really still use physical film? If so why aren’t they using terabytes of storage in a way more compact form?

    Well you’re definitely right about remastering/digitising old film…

    But if Star Wars was done on old DV, Lucas wouldn’t have been able to digitally butcher it, so there’s that.

      I dunno. I feel like he would have tried if there had been the same amount of public dissatisfaction with the originals as there was with the prequels.
