And you do realize that the difference between 2.35:1 and 2.39:1 is basically unnoticeable, right?
…there’s no point trying to match the theatrical aspect ratio precisely. I say the same thing when people complain about 1.85:1 movies being released on Blu in 1.78:1…
It’s mostly just about KNOWING that I tried to get it as close as I could. For example, my projecter has a 4 pixel roll-off around each edge. So I can’t do anything about that (other than get an actual film projector!)
If SW was indeed 2.39, which IMDB says so, then I want to KNOW that I found a 1977 2.39 recording, and that I’m projecting it on a native 2.39 screen. If SW was indeed 2.35, then I want to find a 1977 2.35 recording and project it on a 2.35 native screen. Yes, it will bother me if I’m projecting a 2.35 image on a 2.39 screen because it’s about KNOWING that it doesn’t match. But also as I explained earlier, you do lose about 2/3 of a square foot and remember… you’d be losing this image for an entire 2 hours plus. That’s alot of combined content to lose. But really it’s just about making it match and knowing that it matches the original SW, to the best of my ability, no black bars no matter how small, no overspray, no masking, just want it to match.
