In the documentary “Empire of Dreams” that came on the 2004 set’s bonus disk, there is some unaltered Star Wars footage in the part where they talk about the opening day. This must have come from GOUT, since they didn’t have any other sources of it that hadn’t been changed. This documentary is at a widescreen ratio, and shockingly, so is the footage I’m talking about. So, since it was shown clearly to be widescreen, why was it letterboxed on the 2006 bonus disk? I know it was from the Laserdisc master, but if it had already been corrected to be anamorphic, then why would Lucasfilm release the square one?
Here’s a DVD screenshot that I took in VLC:
