Ok. I've officially had it with the stupid garbage matte blobs around every ship. I went back to widescreen tapes-blobs not noticeable (very much.). They're painfully obvious on the GOUT especially when I blowup the 4:3 frame to 16:9 in VLC.
Now I really have a hard time watching the GOUT. Wow. Never thought I'd see the day where i didn't want to watch SW.
Time to break out the 97SE Widescreen VHS again......
