John, Back to the original point, please. You said "...but when the prints are made, you still HAVE to start with the negative." I refuted that by pointing out that Lucas captured digitally, edited digitally, and made the film master digitally for the latest three Star Wars movies. You do not HAVE to cut a negative to make prints. If you think you do, then you need to visit LaserPacific.
