Boris, I understand what you're saying about the scaling, but that still doesn't change the fact that non-anamorphic DVDs still have like 33% less resolution than anamorphic ones, due to all of the space taken up by the black bars. 25% less resolution ... but then if they did release it in anamorphic they would have only been scaled, as the master tape isn't anamorphic. People would then instead complain that LFL is pretending that it's anamorphic...Originally posted by: StarWarsFan1976
Here's a few questions I do not think I have seen addressed or asked yet...if they have sorry:
1) Do we know if they used the 35mm or 70mm print to do this DVDs?
2) Is it a newly mixed audio or the 35mm or 70mm audio?
3) There gonna be a widescreen and Fullscreen set ?
4) They putting them out as a boxset ?
thank you for your time
1. They used the master reels to do their digital masters both in 1993 and in 2004. The master reels were permanently altered doing both of these restorations.Boris, I understand what you're saying about the scaling, but that still doesn't change the fact that non-anamorphic DVDs still have like 33% less resolution than anamorphic ones, due to all of the space taken up by the black bars. 25% less resolution ... but then if they did release it in anamorphic they would have only been scaled, as the master tape isn't anamorphic.

2. It's most likely the same as the audio on the 1993/1995 LD's, but anything's possible.
3. No. Only America gets shafted with an additional fullscreen release, no other country will accept them. The "OUT" is not available in fullscreen on DVD.
4. No. Certain retailers may try to put them into exclusive boxes as a sales incentive to get people to buy from them - but they're being released individually. So, if you're a big Empire Strikes Back fan and can live without the other movies, you can just get the one DVD. It is a limited edition, though, and will go out of print by the end of the year.
