Hi Stewart,

Digital is always better. Film wears out digital doesn't. I hadn't noticed the color differences or the focus issue. What parts of the movie are you talking about?

Take Care,

Well the last two Star Wars movies were shot and edited in HD digtal, then the film prints were from the ditital master. This is also ture for The Lord of The Rings movies.
