I watched Star Wars after checking out Episode III, and if I was even more nerdy than I already am, I could have made a list a page long with all the problems that exist between the movies.
Of course, recasting is out of the question. Who could replace the likes of Harrison Ford or Alec Guiness? No one, obviously. However, the technology now exists that would allow Lucas to insert the characters into a newly digitized background.
For the sake of consistency, this must be done.
I'm going to have to agree with Sessler.
First of all, there's the whole issue that ESB and RotJ don't really feel all that dated in the first place, Especially the DVD versions.
Second, there is NO way such a digitized back ground would look or feel natural. Part of the reason the OT worked so well is because the world looked used.
Third, it would cost probably millions, or at least 100s of thousands to replace every frame with "Modern" effects. It isn't like the OT was shot against a perpetual blue or green screen like the PT was.
I agree with most of that, except for the 'used' look. That could easily be done with CGI, GL just chose not to in this trilogy. See Matrix Reloaded.
