My samples run with NTSC pulldown and with a correct framerate, Asaki were just making a joke.
Regarding the slightly distorted AR with a vertically stretched image as a result, I was able to locate at which points this occur...
the first time this happen is here:

^ first frame of that shot
and it ends on this frame:

Next occurrence of a stretched image is here:

^ first frame of Han after Greedo's line "I've been looking forward to this for a long time."
and it ends here:

Those who have done IVTC on various transfers of SW, might notice that some of these points corresponds with reel changes, the short duration of an correct AR in the Greedo confrontation is a little odd, but I guess it perhaps could be related to the subtitle-free source they used. Anyway, just thought I would share my findings as those who own this LD might find it helpful if you're ever doing your own transfer of it sometime.
