Back to the JSC, AFAIK it has the "shrinkin' problem", that is not present on the SWE, isn't true? If so, I could manage to capture the SWE trilogy with my Pioneer HLD-X9 and improve the quality with my "white magic"... the only problem is, between my dozen SW OUT LDs I have NOT the SWE!!!

No, you got that wrong. It is the Special Widescreen Edition of ANH that has the "shrinkin' ratio problem", not the Japanese Special Collection.

But, the Special Widescreen Edition was released in a different pressing by Technidisc in '93 from a different master which we were talking about here: http://originaltrilogy.com/forum/topic.cfm/Smear-free-93/topic/12190/
