Display and format technologies are moving rapidly towards 16:9 HD. And you can bet your ass the PT and the SE will be out on super-duper-high-def-DTS-three-squillion-disc-ultimate-ultimate-ultimate-edition-box-sets before you can say "dollars"!
Lucas, being the technological fetishist that he is, will no doubt be drooling over such developments daily.
If the last ever official release of the OOT is allowed to be a 4:3 letterbox transfer from Laserdisc then it will be doomed to being 'satisfactory'! So it's better than VHS? I still won't be buying the September releases!
I say tell LFL and Fox to stick their DVDs and I say intensify the pressure!
