If the audio part is false, then the different wipe is probably false as well, which means there was indeed only one change for the Revenge of the Sith DVD. Can this be proven?

What he said

Same

Also, according to Wookieepedia, there is a different wipe and slightly shorter “Noooo!!” from Darth Vader on the Revenge of the Sith DVD. Is this true?

Centropy made a bootleg of the 35mm version of AOTC, so yes.
The Phantom Menace laserdisc doesn’t have English subtitles for the alien languages, so it doesn’t exactly represent the theatrical version.

Am I correct it was released in widescreen on VHS 4 times (1992 Special Letterbox Collector’s Edition, 1995 Faces THX Widescreen Edition, 1997 widescreen Special Edition VHS, 2000 widescreen Special Edition VHS)?

If you want the theatrical versions
The Phantom Menace: 2000 Widescreen Video Collector’s Edition (VHS)
Attack of the Clones: 2002 widescreen DVD is identical to the digital projection version
Revenge of the Sith: Theatrical version never released, but the 2005 widescreen DVD and 2011 Blu-ray are almost identical (Disney+ version is the Blu-ray version upscaled to 4K)
Original trilogy: 1992 Special Letterbox Collector’s Edition or 1995 THX Widescreen Edition (VHS)
Sequel trilogy: Every release is the same

Sorry if I wasn’t clear enough, but I was talking about the 1977 Dolby Stereo mix. It’s a shame that all home video releases are either cropped or altered from the 1981 re-release version, but Star Wars is Star Wars.

The 1985 mix has some sweetened sound effects, new stereo’d effects and the addition of C-3PO’s line in the Death Star. As I said, I heard it wasn’t on Laserdisc until a few years later, so it’s possible the stereo mix might have been on a widescreen release.

I know it was released in pan-and-scan on VHS, Betamax, and Laserdisc in 1982, but was it ever released in widescreen? I have heard the 1985 mix wasn’t on Laserdisc until later but I have also heard the 1985 mix was included in the Japanese Special Collection Laserdiscs. Any information on this is greatly appreciated.

I have already asked this in Theatrical Cuts vs. Subsequent Releases but I didn’t get an answer to my question. This is an interesting subject to me, because the original Dolby Stereo mix was on pan-and-scan releases in 1982, but I have never heard of a widescreen release with the Dolby mix. The first widescreen release of A New Hope was on the Japanese Special Collection Laserdiscs in 1986, but they had the 1985 mix. However, I have heard (correct me if I’m wrong) that some Laserdiscs released after the Special Collection had the Dolby mix. The question is, is this true and were any of them widescreen? I am asking this because I wonder what would be closest to the 1981 theatrical re-release, since the only home video release with the original crawl were the 2006 bonus discs, and those have DVNR and the 1993 audio mix.
