But the original theatrical version of Alien on that release IS anamorphic. And it IS remastered.Here is the specs for the Alien (2 disc) to prove my point.

That's the thing about these releases of the Star Wars discs. The Alien DVD came out in 2003. A whole 3 years ago. The specs don't list things like remastered and anamorphic because back in 2003, it was EXPECTED for a high profile release to have a remastered anamorphic transfer. Maybe if these SW discs were released in 1997, they could be given some slack since the format was in its infancy at that time. But today, these discs are below DVD standards in basically every sense. They may look decent. They may even look good to the untrained eye, but they're far from the type of quality that is expected for a release of this magnitude.
