Well I have two thoughts on that:

(1) 2001 made in 1969 was more realistic (there are no sounds in space!).

(2) Although I enjoy playing old 8-bit games like Super Mario, given a choice, I'd rather play the 16-bit versions. Same Game. Better Looks.
The same applies to Star Wars. Why settle for the primitive model technology & black squares around the ships, when you can have the same movie, but with better looks & no squares?

Nostalgia is nice.
Progress is better.

My only objections are when Lucas actually *changed the scene* like deleting the Yub-Yub Song I disagree with that. But where he left the scene intact, merely enhanced with CGI, I think it's good.
