I know about Harmy's despecialized, I've seen the special edition crap, but after seeing the original SSE and knowing the poor quality of the theatrical reels it comes from I'm struggling to see why scanning the same low quality source at an even higher res is going to make it look any better.
So why are you asking "what's the point" of a 4K release?

What's the point of a 4K anything?

SSE was very grainy... This one comes in super grainy form as well, but also with DNR that came out this week.


I don't know what else to say... To each their own I guess.
