My point is, sure it's within Lucas' means to fully restore a print and make an anamorphic transfer, I just understand why he wouldn't want to, and don't think there is anything wrong in not spending your own money on things you don't want to spend them on.
Putting the laserdisc master on there was going out of his way as it was, and I don't fault him for not wanting to spend more than he did on it. Especially considering that he did it mainly for people who have crapped on his vision for the whole saga since ROTJ.
