Hey, it took some other movies from Star Wars's era a long while to see decent dvd releases.
The original Dune dvd from '98 was non-anamorphic and single layer. Earlier this year they finally released a new dvd with a new transfer for both it and the longer television version, both dual layer, both anamorphic. It's all on one DVD-18.
The old Blade Runner dvd, while anamorphic, looks horrible by today's standards. It was only single layer and the picture itself had many issues to begin with. Again, this year also saw it getting updated with a new transfer on a dual layer disc.
Yet another update this year was the Brazil dvd. The old disc was non-anamorphic but this was finally reissued by Criterion.
Even "The Doors," a frequently used example of non-anamorphic dvd releases, is also finally getting an update.
Lucas just might make Star Wars part of a rather exclusive club....
