I had those, the first Widescreen releases of Star Wars on VHS in the UK, CBS/Fox did transfers like that all the time.
Predator and Aliens: Special Edition were like this also, terrible picture quality. They got severly critised in some film magazines and changed to proper 25fps PAL releases eventually. Buena Vista/Disney, always used to do this on VHS releases of their animated films as well.
