a lead on ESB and RotJ boots:

It took me a while to figure out that the movie theater screen had a different shape from the TV screen. I had bootleg copies of The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi at one point, and they were both widescreen. (Well, the camcorder had been pointed at the screen in such a way that you saw more of the picture than you would in a pan-and-scan transfer.) So I was starting to realize something was up.

*EDIT*

Contacted: Location: Colorado.  Was a kid last time he watched the boots, so after reviewing the screen cap guides, they could be similar to what he saw.  Also had as a kid taken a tape recorder into SW, so there used to be a cassette of him saying "That's not fair!" when the Star Destroyers came in overhead.
