I had to chime in on all the 4K talk. This will never be a home video format. It's really only meant to up the resolution on large theater screens where you can actually see the difference. It's not viable in the home where the average screen is less than 50 inches. You'd have to have an entirely new TV that could run it, a format that could hande it, and a consumer willing to spend the cash on it. I am a huge theater buff but I would never invest in something that is impossible to tell the difference from 1080p on a home HDTV.
Also, the guy who said Episode II and III were shot at 1080p is 100% correct. Almost all digitally shot films between 2000 and 2010 were shot at 1080p at 24 frames a second. Only nopw is it starting to change and it's not like blu-ray couldn't handle digital at 60 frames, like the Hobbit is being shot.
You are free to come back in 15 years and check but 1080p is the last stop for 2D in the home.
