That's a very good point. I hadn't thought of that. You're absolutely right - to get a decent looking fullscreen pan & scan version, you would have to take it from a better source than the letterbox 2.35:1 transfer, that's for sure. I refuse to believe LFL would just blow up the letterbox image for the fullscreen, it puzzles the mind how they would do that and get away with it. But the thing is, that there were ofcourse fullscreen VHS releases of the THX remastered trilogy and now the question is did they preserve that transfer meant for the fullscreen, or did they just throw it away after they transferred it to fullscreen. Many unanswered questions here.

But then again I think it's just not down to whether LFL has the film elements necessary for a anamorphic DVD, it's down to the fact that Lucas most probably is using this to bate us fans by releasing a crap version of the OUT and a remastered and shiny version of his "definitive vision" to make the difference really noticeable. Then he goes on and says: "Nobody wanted to buy the originals, so people prefer my "definitive vision" of it". What a load of crap that is. And he might just get away with it. The man has to be stopped.
