If that assumption was wrong, then my my bad.
I don't think Vader died as a Jedi I guess. I took 'Return of the Jedi' to mean, "Hey, Luke's a Jedi now!" I get where you're coming from re: the redemption stuff, and the change was completely unnecessary. It just doesn't bother me as much I guess. |
No, you're correct.
But that's why I'm pissed. Sure it was presented in 2.35:1 but just like the image you posted it wasn't optimized for 16:9 TVs so there's black bars on the top and sides.
Although just for clarification that is a 16:9 image displayed in 4:3. It is even worse watching a 2.35:1 image in 4:3 because the black bars are even bigger on the top and bottom.
What I'm upset with is that all they had to do was optimize the 2.35:1 image for 16:9 TVs. This means that I don't have to use the "zoom" feature on my tv to watch it in widescreen with no bars on the sides. Problem with using the zoom or stretch feature is that it often cuts off some of the image.
