A question, and a comment:

What is a G'KAR?

Regarding the matte lines, there are two schools of thought. When I first saw them, I was surprised, because I never saw them in the theater. If their exposure is a byproduct of conversion to home video, then removing them is actually an act of preservation of the original theatrical experience.

But I understand your wanting to put them back in. Everyone has their own original experiences and it's good that so many of them are being restored.

G'KAR a recording of a German SD anamorphic digital broadcast of the 97SE. It's is not a very good quality, but it seems to be the best there is for 97SE Jedi.

And I'm pretty sure the matte lines must have been there in the cinema, it's just that people wouldn't notice them, because they weren't looking for them. I remember reading a review of the 97SE, where the guy complained about them not fixing the Rancor matte lines after he saw the SE in the cinema.
