My first set was Pan & Scan. I never knew what Widescreen was till much later. I think around the time the Faces edition came out. I just kinda assumed that when the Hoth trooper looked through his binoculars at the AT-ATs, that the binoculars made them look really tall and thin. Never realized that it was because the entire screen was squeezed in from the sides to 4:3 aspect ratio to keep from cutting off anything on the side. Silly, young me.


Yea, its a horror what pan and scam does to widescreen movies. I'd like to find the guys responsible, get a light saber and cut their sides off and see how they like it!
