When I watched the SE of Empire theatrically in '97, the projectionist screwed up at the beginning playing it horribly squished (not sure how multiplex film projectors work, but it was like they didn't put an anamorphic lens on), well through the Star Destroyer flying by and shooting out probe droids. They stopped it, said they'd fix it, which they did, but didn't start the film over, and then refocused it on the fly while we're trying to watch the movie *shakes fist*... Anyway, talk about what seemed like one heck of a weird SE change at first, LOL.

So yeah, perhaps they could show it theatrically a little different than how I remember it from '97...

Oh, and why would you even want them to release it theatrically, they'd just show the crap version we're trying to undo on this site... But in THREE DEEEEE *whooooooooooooaaaaaaa*
