lol, I was wondering how long it would take people to notice that. I actually goofed when I imported the video into premiere and as a result, it resized to 720, but cut off the sides. On my new test mpeg (which looks better btw) I have corrected the problem.

yourmother:

On a regular 4:3 tv, anamorphic looks exactly the way any widescreen movie looks - it has the big black bars on the top and bottom. Since the Star Wars Trilogy was shot with a 2.35:1 aspect ratio, it will still show bars on a widescreen tv because it is actually WIDER than 16:9. Those bars are normal, and yes mine will also do this.

My transfers will look as close to DVD quality as I can make them, but I'm not going to go out of my way to make them look like the DVD's. The official DVD's were transfered straight from the original negatives and employ color correction techniques that I cannot even fathom. There is no way to get such vivid color off of the LD transfers.

As for the cover art, I used Adobe Photoshop. Anyone could whip up a decent dvd sleeve with enough patience and know-how.
