The image should keep its width (720) - you only want to resize in one dimension. The height should be increased by a factor of 1.333 (recurring), which, for NTSC, will probably mean a resize (after cropping) to approximately 720x360.

You're right -- I was really tired when I wrote that. =)

No, I wouldn't crop out the "Greedo text" because the subtitles aren't burned into the video -- they're in a separate track, so they can be added again when authoring the DVD (though I realize now they may look stretched since they were designed for non-anamorphic video). And the process would be similar for PAL, just with different dimensions.
