Lucas' "Attack of the Clones" Digital Projection Revolution Delayed

Variety is reporting that George Lucas' dream of digital projection has been delayed. The age of digital projection was to be herald with the release of the latest Star Wars film, Episode Two: Attack of the Clones. However, only 20 digital screens nationwide will be ready in time for AOTC's May 16th release whereas it had originally been hoped that 2000 screens would be converted to digital projection for premiere of Lucas' latest space saga.
"We've proselytized about this for years," Lucasfilm President Gordon Radley observed. "So, it's disappointing to think that it continues to take digital cinema longer to come to fruition than it should."
"Lucas once fervently hoped that -- at the very least -- several hundred digital screens would be in place by the time "Clones" unspools. The second "Star Wars" prequel was shot entirely in digital video, and the ideal way to screen such pics is electronically."
"As recently as last year, there was speculation Lucas might insist the space epic unspool only in venues equipped for digital projection. But the filmmaker quickly nixed that talk, no doubt seeing early signs that even several hundred digital installations was a long-shot prospect at best."
"It's possible that 'Episode III' will be distributed entirely in digital," Laguna Research Partners analyst Kevin Skislock said recently.
How would you rate the latest ENT episode, FUSION, on a scale from 1 (bad) to 10 (excellent) in comparison to the best and the worst episodes of the previous Star Trek television series?
