I was actually looking at those yesterday and almost considered it until I read those same words: “non-anamorphic.”
Funny even when he DOES release the “original” trilogy he even messes that up.

The films that made this guy’s career, the films that are the only reason anyone knows his name, and he can’t even remaster them in their original incarnation and then go hog wild doing whatever he wants to destroy the legacy of his films all you want. Seamless branching, the massive capacity of Blu-ray… Seriously???

Yeah, me too, but I doubt we’ll ever see the original movies on Blu-ray. They’re available on DVD, but in an inferior “non-anamorphic” video format: http://www.amazon.com/Star-Wars-Trilogy-Widescreen-Theatrical/dp/B001EN71DG
