Yep,

It's been confirmed on a few sites including The Digital Bits website.
Basically, Lucas is offering the '95 "original" transfers of the three Star
Wars films (EP 4,5,6) that were used for the laserdisc releases and *will
not* be 16:9 anamorphically enhanced.

AND, while it's old news now, to rub salt in the wound, it's still worth
noting they're being paired with the last "remastered" edits as 2 dvd sets.
The old laserdiscs, because of the better bitrate for the audio will
actually still be sonically better then the upcoming dvds.

This has to be the biggest "Fuck You" anyone could have imagined coming from
Lucas.

T.B.
