Nothing drastic, just enhancing the 'reality' of the film's effects.
So, basically give it the same treatment that the Indiana Jones trilogy received for its DVD release? Sure, I'd agree with that, and I don't think there would be many complaints from SW fans. I mean, how many Indy fans want to see a DVD version complete with snake reflections?
