The widescreen tv will be 1.78:1, and Star Wars will be 2:35:1. Two differently sized rectangles. You can't "get rid" of the black bars, because filling it video information would mean the people onscreen will be taller than normal. It would be like watching Star Wars in a funhouse mirror that makes you look skinner. Sure, your head and feet will be at the very top and bottom, but it'll look ridiculous.
