'This is a telecine of some kind. The image is squished. The two other RotJ bootlegs are not squished (for the main feature) and are significantly cropped, this recording is about 90% complete as you can see all the Reel Change cues markers.

It could be a transfer from a Derann 8mm. The image is slightly more cropped than this print:

The recording is glitched at the Reel 2-3 cue change. Same for the 4-5 change. So two reel were combined before the telecine process began.’
