Do I get native 4k Ultra HD?

Yes. Studio debut of George Lucas was shot on classic 35mm analogue film. This has the advantage of a theoretical resolution of around 6k and is great for archiving. So the studio could have reached into the vaults for the original negatives when creating the new transfer, cleaned and therefore completely restored them - and then scanned them in 4k for the new master. The latter is able to combine the advantages of both old and new technology into an absolutely perfect spectacle: Native 4k extracts almost the maximum image information from the film, both in terms of detail and in terms of brightness range and colour tones. Ultra HD transfer then presents this information in the best possible quality: HEVC takes care of visuals free of compression artefacts, while preserving film characteristics including grain; Ultra HD resolution then provides ample room for the maximum amount of image information; HDR and WCG on top of that carry all available luminance and tonal 'data' and present it in a form that pockets both the original cinema projections in the days of the premiere and many films shot on digital cameras today. This film has never looked better.
