(By way of confirmation, Lucasfilm's Jim Ward had this to say about the transfers in the recent USA Today story: "It is state of the art, as of 1993, and that's not as good as state of the art 2006.")
Don't remember which thread it was in, but I'll say it again: Giving such a specific date was simply too suspicious to take at face value. This was the biggest reason for me to believe the release would be a non-anamorphic LD transfer. Sucks to be proven right.
