Wasn't Gone With the Wind filmed in the Academy Ratio of 1.33:1 of 1.37:1, fullscreen? Did widescreen exist back then? Oh, and hte unfortunate answer to your question is that Lucas feels that these are nothing more than rough drafts and that the SEs are the movies, period, and that ergo, the Star Wars trilogy has been released in 16:9. Nevermind that The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, Alien, The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, Aliens, The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, Alien 3, Vanishing Point, Alien Resurrection, The Abyss, Terminator 2: Judgment Day, E.T. The Extraterrestrial, Apocalypse Now, Blade Runner, Brazil, Braindead, and The Leopard, to name a few DVDs, all present both version in high-quality.
