Rember: Han Shot First!
I fell asleep in the theater when the "OG" episodes came out. I thought they would buff it up but they royally screwed it.
The only original release I ever saw in the theater was Return of the Jedi in 1983.
hey... lucas! leave those films alone!
And then Lucas further insulted the fans by giving us the original movies on DVD... as 'a bonus extra' with his messed up reworkings AND the worst possible quality he could find AND not optimized for widescreen tvs, effectively ENSURING you prefer the new versions.
To see how good the original trilogy could look, check out the work this guy is doing (he's a professional screen effects and movie music composer who is doing this for his own gratification).
He has a HD source for Star Wars and is going through the thing frame by frame cleaning it up... the bits he's shown of it so far are looking superb! Pity it's not being released (for legal reasons, obviously).
*sigh*
Leading to very sudden and over animated animation. This is disconcerting to the viewer when watching, because the director is supposed to lead you through sequences not make a spectacle from one shot to the next. Subtlety is key for CG effects. Something seen in the very best of CG films.
His fanedit is probably the best one I've seen so far.

Great job Lucas. meh.
I'm waiting to see the jazzed-up CGI explosions he added to American Graffiti!
As for the additions, some of the opening sequence and background changes were okay, well they would be if they didn't have goofy little robots flying around. Some was just unnecessary, and other abhorrent. They should have been going for subtlety, instead they went for HEY HEY HEY LOOK AT ME HEY OVER HERE HEY HEY IM DIFFERENT NOW LOOK HEY LOOK!
