All three Star Wars films would’ve been shown in 2.39 on 35mm, and 70mm blow-ups cropped to 2.20 of course. The reason there is conflicting info on scope aspect ratios is because standards changed a couple times I think. To my knowledge, any film made in 1970+ was projected with a 2.39 gate. This wiki page actually has the history here:
