Something isn't right about all this - I have read several times now that they have had the original versions of the films chemically washed for this release? If so that means a fresh transfer and not the LD masters.... Now if THAT is the case the only reason it wouldn't be anamorphic is to deliberately make them appear visually inferior to the SE editions which are also included.... I mean that's the only reason I can see for it being Non Anamorphic.

If it IS from the LD masters, then are they going to 'cheat' and digitally recreate the opening crawl sans the New Hope bit?!? And - worse - if it is LD sauced then that means the 1995 mix doesn't it whilst not bad, it's hardly original.

Looking forward to hearing something more official about these releases....
