Why not be more fair to everyone by also presenting something unique (the OOT finally on DVD) inside of letterbox format?

It is somewhat fair, though. Depending on whether a Star Wars fan likes widescreen or anamorphic, it remains relative. For instance: the 2004 DVD's might bother some fans because they were not letterbox widescreen. There has to be fans out there who are equally as disappointed with the 2004 release as many of you are disappointed with the 2006 OOT release (not for the movie changes, but from the POV of letterbox VS anamorphic)
Huh??? Umm, why should there be fans of letterbox widescreen? You get it automatically when you set your DVD player to 4:3 letterbox mode. The player downscales the picture then, so that anamorphic discs look correct on 4:3 TV sets.
I really like how on some DVD's, they give you the option of if you want FS or WS. A matter of preference determines what we as individuals will choose to watch.
Fullscreen is something completely different than letterbox. Fullscreen is a full 4:3 picture using the whole 720x480 resolution. Letterbox is a non 4:3 picture formatted for a 4:3 TV at 720x480.
What I'm saying, is that even if the September 2006 OOT was presented in anamorphic widescreen, there no doubt some would be fans on here talking about the disappointment they feel that it wasn't letterbox widescreen.
Perhaps only to those who know shit about video formats, and fail to set their DVD player to 4:3 letterbox mode.....
Maybe Lucas chose it that way to fulfill the needs of letterbox fans?
To fulfil the need of "letterbox fans" (who is a fan of lower resolution?), you just have to configure the DVD player correctly.
The altered OT was all anamorphic widescreen, so he had already appealed to anamorphic fans.
