Do you understand that these movies will be sold for generations to come? What kind sense would it makes to ignore such flaws, especially if they are correctable? |

the only thing I truly hated about the special edition of the original trilogy was putting Hayden christianson at the end of Return of the Jedi. That was just downright stupid. The rest of it I can live with because it didn't really change anything. Other than the Han shot first thing which I really couldn't care less about.

And personally, I thought that the Emperor and Vader's holographic transmission in Empire was long overdue for correction and I really liked the end result. It made for a much more cohesive trilogy, IMO. |

Yea really the Han shooting first was the only egregious issue, but honestly the bluray release are much better because they shoot at roughly the same time. Do I personally feel it still hurts Hans character? Sure but that's what made Han shooting first great! It showed that he didn't start out as a 'good guy', he was legitimately bad in certain respects which made his translation to 'good' more powerful. Bluray is better but it still weakens how 'bad' Han was at the start.
Really the only other bit that bugs me about the newest editions is still the Jabba scene in Star Wars! I know the original shot they had to work with made it goofy when Jabba was turned into a giant slug, but still that scene is ****ed. Hopefully tech will allow them to reedit it at some point so Han doesn't walk all over Jabba's tail. Heh no feared gangster is going to let someone live after that...

The jabba scene and greedo are the worst parts for me, as well, although I was never a big fan of all the CGI atmospheric crap he added. Cleaning up the space battles was one thing, the colored boxes around the ships should be cleaned up, but I don't give a shit what's outside the windows on cloud city. The practical sets in the original gave the environments an illusion of reality that Lucas' special addition "improvements" basically destroyed.

I thought the Bespin scenes were cool, too. In fact, I wished at the time that there was more. |

That should be what I have on DVD, the 2004 edition. I have no idea what they look like in the latest blu-ray release, though. I've given uncle george enough of my money for now. I'll wait for the 25-disk super-ultra-4D-sexovision set in 2025.

Well, to me anyway it's like a beautiful woman who keeps getting plastic surgery to continually improve her looks...and at the end of the day the finished product is never finished an looks worse than the original. But technology marches on, and I guess people seem to like the changes.
