Max_Rebo: Yeah, I suppose the image could be stretched the precise amount needed to correct the degree to which the PAL image is squashed, so that it exactly matches the correct 2.35:1 aspect ratio of Star Wars. But would stretching the image to correct the squashing cause it's own image artifacts, or does the video look perfect (as if the image had never been squashed or stretched at all) just like the 2004 DVD after the stretching correction is applied? You have my confidence that it can be pulled off.

By the way, if you want any info. on how to handle putting the few frames you might need from the GKAR version into the TB version, you might want to ask the guys from the Star Wars X0 Project, they had to do the same thing with the U.S. Definitive Collection laserdisk set. They might be able to help with how to make the colors and such match up perfectly between the two sources, and maybe other stuff, too.
