Episode 2.35 720p

The 720p thing really sticks in my craw, though. Fortunately, the Comcast subscription comes with access to streaming services like HBO GO without needing to subscribe to HBO Now separately. I discovered during the last season of Game of Thrones that the picture quality was a lot better streaming there than on the linear cable feed.
The use of 14:9 to adapt full screen content for widescreen channels, by contrast, is much less common in the US, where pillarboxing and stretching are more commonly used (stretching is primarily used by Turner's Flexview). Only the HD simulcast channels of Discovery Networks used 14:9 for its previous episodes of their productions. Weigel Broadcasting uses 14:9 extensively as a compromise format on older shows without widescreen versions airing on their networks, including Decades, Heroes & Icons, MeTV and Start TV. Some television networks use it on a more selective basis, with AMC and Sundance TV using it when showing episodes of M*A*S*H. The first disc of MythBusters: Big Blast Collection uses this ratio, as does the Mega Movie Myths disc.

The discs include all 20 episodes of Season Five, with Director's Cuts of "Eminence" and "Shades of Reason." Episodes are in chronological order, with "Revival" placed between "Point of No Return" and "Eminence." As with previous seasons, there is a "Jedi Temple Archives" feature exclusive to the Blu-ray set. There are also three Easter eggs: artwork by Dave Filoni, Celebration VI Chalk Art, and a timeline of Ahsoka Tano: "Ahsoka Tano: A Jedi's Journey."
The F900, unlike other digital cameras at that time, shot footage at 24P in HD when most, including Phantom Menace's HDC-750, would only shoot at 25P or above. It was a 2/3 3-CCD EFP camera, which captured 3:1 compressed 1440 x 1080 component video, recording onto cassette. Recording was achieved at a 1.78:1 (16:9) aspect ratio and would be cropped, altered and shoved around a 2.35:1 final release widescreen ratio. Unlike Phantom Menace (and 1983's Return of the Jedi), it was also shot with classic Panavision Primo anamorphic lenses, just as Lucas did on the first two Star Wars movies. It seemed that even when the world of cinematography was changing, some snippets of tradition remained.
And sometimes the same film will actually employ different aspect ratios, often for effect. "Oz the Great and Powerful" switched from black-and-white 4x3 to color 2.35:1 after the protagonist moved to Oz, for example, and "Life of Pi" was a 16x9 film that included two changes, once during the flying fish scene and another in homage to the cover of the book. And for some films presented in IMAX, like "The Dark Knight" and "Tron: Legacy," only certain portions were shot in the 1.44:1 IMAX format. Here's a great collection with plenty of other examples. 2b1af7f3a8
