At the end of the day, it's 30% more resolution for an anamorphic transfer. Should we just forget it?

I think the anamorphic issue is definitely a legitimate one, but I don't know if LFL can be swayed on this issue, at least for this release (if one wants to be cynical - but hopeful - maybe they are saving anamorphic for a hi-def release).
re: the alternate audio mixes, the only thing I'm fairly certain about is that without Lucas's cooperation the 70mm multichannel mix is lost, which is too bad. I've been into multichannel sound for a while (before the push for 5.1 anyway) and I would love to hear the early multichannel Star Wars mix as it was originally offered.
