The main feature is the 2004 version and the bonus is the original version. I can't think of a single instance where the widescreen/fullframe nature of a DVD has applied to bonus features like deleted scenes and whatnot. So, while you make a very good point, Davis, this might be their way of thinking. But really, in this instance, I'm playing devil's advocate and hoping you're right.
Gee, I hope that isn't the case. But now I want to finish my line of thought....
You bring up the fullscreen THX VHS tapes; we're talking about the 1995 VHS edition. We know that this fullscreen edition was of the highest quality and richest colors yet. We also know that they didn't just clean up one of the old VHS fullscreen transfers, because they made DIFFERENT pan-scan decisions. We also know that the fullscreen VHS tapes were not made by blowing up the LD masters- the image is too detailed for that (I own the VHS).
Isn't this hard proof that Lucasfilm actually restored a FILM PRINT of the OOT in the nineties, and used this for both the widescreen and fullscreen releases? What happened to this print? And if they scrapped this but somehow still have the LD/VHS widescreen master tapes, wouldn't it make sense that they have the fullscreen master tapes as well? Were these scrapped? I've now thoroughly confused myself.
