A friend of mine, which is also a SW fan, also said GL should re-shoot the whole thing when he did the 1997 version. I was shocked back then, but he said that the technology showed in the movies is the "1970s futuristic vision", like in "2001" where we have Panam and Bell and a gigantic computer and low-res TV with 1960s music... He said the whole thing should be re-done because there was no way that crummy looking technology would exist in the SW universe. His favorite example was the "aiming computer" on the Yavin battle, with the crappy looking numbers and visuals, and the "TIE aiming system", with that little silly animated TIE going into the aim. He said that AT LEAST the panels should be re-done to look more technological and less hand-animated. I said he was a loony and the whole issue was dropped.
