    I'd rather have it on film. You see it immediately. Making a Star Wars film in dialogue with the originals means you will have to have the suitable materials and techniques to do so. Film needs a bit of grain and haze. Digital is too clean, strips the movie of it's magic. So does something like HFR like they did with the Hobbit. I'm a purist.

    You can actual add a grain filter...there's a literal button that makes it turn into a 35mm look .

    lol....yeah. What world we live in. I understand why George wanted digital: "because the effects guys could fill this in later".

    By the way, if you would sum them up for me concretely, what are the advantages of digital?

    It's cheaper, higher resolution, saves money, load times are quicker, easier to shoot on, and makes shooting s movie a lot faster..."filling effects later" has nothing t do with Digital, either. For example, TPM was all film. GL had to load all the film into his droid edit machine and then run it through a computer so the CGI could be done before re-printing back into film...if there was digital back then that was satisfactory enough for SW, it would have readily saved sooo much money .

    Count me in for digital. Everything is digitally processed now anyway, there's really no point to shooting on film unless you're shooting on 70mm or IMAX. The only people who really benefit from shooting on film are the film crew. As soon as the movie has finished shooting, the film is scanned digitally and distributed digitally. In most cases no one will ever see the truly film version of their movie.

    If anyone is really interested in film vs digital, watch the documentary Side by Side. It's pretty informational.

    Film by a landslide. Digital is fine for its own purposes. But Star Wars needs to have the tangible feel of real celluloid. No, digital filters and effects to recreate it aren't the same thing.

    Just like a keyboard can make a convincing violin, but it still pales in comparisons to sitting in a concert hall listening to the real thing. There is an intangible quality to the analog world that does make difference

    You can have your digital on the anthology films. But the saga proper should stay on film.

    Since we're talking about film and digital and Star Wars, some of you might be interested in this:
    https://storify.com/tvaziri/steve-yedlin
    Rian Johnson's frequent collaborator Steve Yedlin, has been developing a way for digital to replicate film. Basically the goal is to demonstrate that the final image is not entirely dependent on the capture media.

    Well digital CAN replicate film quality to a degree already with a button on some editing suites that turn it into a "look" of film .
