To be totally honest, I probably wouldn't care about them being non-anamorphic either if the damn subtitles weren't getting cut off. Everything I've read says GOUT is the best transfer out there. The anamorphic transfers probably look better on a 16:9 tv, but like I said they probably don't look as good on 4:3 televisions, short perhaps of doing that full resolution reverse stretch trick, and who really wants to do that?

Lucas could've been cool, he could've told us in advance about whatever he's doing next year ala New Line with Lord of the Rings or Warner Bros with the recent Blade Runner release, but then we'd have no reason at all to buy shitty non-anamorphic transfers unless we didn't know the difference.

Black friday can't get here soon enough.
