Then Grinder showed me a clip of his LD cap of the 1982? fullscreen LD of A New Hope. That clip was JUST as I remembered Star Wars.

See that's my thing. Also, if they release it in fullscreen, wouldn't that mean that the part of the picture that you ARE seeing be in the highest-res the OOT has EVER been released in? Maybe I'm misunderstanding.

My other two questions were....

1. If this is REALLY pressed from the original prints from 77-83, then we should be seeing the original subtitles BURNED IN, in their original font, right? That means we get Return on the Jedi with no misspelled subtitles, and no player-generated stuff that looks like garbage.

2. Didn't they screw up the transfer for ROTJ for the '93 and '95 editions, during their "remastering"? I read somewhere that they lopped off about 10 scan lines from the top of ROTJ's frame, changing the aspect ratio. My question is this- are we finally going to get this in its original ratio, or are they going to copy the mistake from 93-95? Is this anamorphic?
