I thought that he was shooting the new Star Wars movies with the intention of all digital all of the way to the screens. It would save a tremendous amount of money in the distribution side. For example, it probably cost 30-50 million just to print all of those copies of Dark Knight to release to 4000 theaters.
He might have been aiming for that but there weren’t enough all digital screens at the time to make it possible. Might be do-able for next month’s Clone Wars animated movie.
