I don't know about the anamorphic debate, but the reason I will always watch the trilogy in NTSC is not necessarily because I live in America. I have a PAL copy of the widescreen Star Wars as well. I cannot stand PAL because the sound is sped up along with the video. This is a problem if you were born with something called "perfect pitch" like I was. It means that you automically identify pitch names. So I am immensely distracted by the Star Wars theme playing in B Major rather than B flat Major. It's not so much the voices, but every time a musical cue comes in, I'm busy noticing that it's not in the original key. I can't help it, and it throws the whole thing off for me.

Not many people have my problem (so I don't know how many people know what I'm talking about), but I just wanted to state my personal situation. I would much rather have a motion-judder with the correct running time and the correct audio track
