Okay so let me start off by saying I love this site and the new petition (although I'd leave out the part about including the SE with the OOT version we're shooting for, but I guess we're just being realistic concerning Lucasfilm...however it'd be bangin' to get JUST the restored OOT by itself! actually it'd be AMAZING...but anyhow)

I was angered to know of Lucasfilm's stance on the pre-special editions that were buried until the 2006 OOT DVD. The OOT is the version I love as I wasn't down with them CGI'ing the hell out the SE's... these are late 70's early 80's movies. How often does someone CGI a movie from that era? Rhetorical question but still I'm sure not often! Anyhow the best I can get this 2006 OOT is using the "Wide-Fit" option on my Samsung which has about 3.5 inch black bar on top and about a 3.15 inch black bar on bottom (or vise versa I can't remember), comparatively the SE have about a 1.5 inch black bar on top resulting in a taller picture for the SE and a slightly squished picture for the OOT. Not too bad of a squish compared to when I tried leaving my TV on Screen Fit (meaning the picture isn't distorted or stretched yet, but small), but then using my PS3's full feature to stretch it which has the black bars on top like 3.75 inches and the picture REALLY squished. So for now it's OOT, Wide-Fit, all the way, until anamorphic OOT becomes reality (optimism!).
