I'm a bit lost there ... sorry ... When I edit video, I try to keep it as close as possible to the original, and I've never been really concerned about 16:9 screens since I watch the movie on my computer ... But to me 16:9 looks a bit "squeezed" ...
Hold on, I just threw up in my mouth a little.
Ludwig... the "original" IS widescreen!!!! All the posts you have seen in this thread represent how Star Wars looked in theaters... at least in aspect ratio (width x height). Your statement shows that you REALLY need to educate yourself in the ways of theatrical presentation and how it relates to proper presentation in the home. Widescreen is the only way to go. If 16x9 has always looked "squeezed" to you, you probably have had your display set up wrong. If you are watching on a 4x3 television, and your DVD player has been set to 16x9, then anamorphically enhanced DVDs would look wrong.
