Only doing clean up work of the films worked for the Indiana Jones trilogy DVD. Why add additional scenes that detract from the pacing of the original films? Taking out the matte lines around ships is different from adding in whole scenes that slow down the pace of the movie. I borrowed the 2004 DVDs to compare with the OT and there were plenty of effects clean up shots that improved the films (the Rancor scene for example), but in my opinion adding additional scenes or changing effects in some scenes actually made the scenes worse. I'm also in the over 30 crowd (32 actually) so I guess growing up with the films has made me more biased toward the originals.
