I ran a search on here but didn't find what I was looking for, as I am sure it is out there somewhere. But I was wondering: other than hearsay, where did we actually get confirmation that the 09/12 releases are not anamorphic? Amazon.com says as such for Star Wars:

It says "Widescreen" for both discs 1 AND 2 and nothing about anamorphic, even for disc 1. I am guessing that "Enhanced Trilogy Version" on Disc 1 simply means "SW with all of the changes" and this is NOT referring to it being anamorphic. Also, I read recently that Fox has a problem with labeling their DVDs properly before the release and proper marketing, so could this be just a case of that?!?

Just looking for some clarification and hard evidence. Thanks!
