I've debated this very issue for some time.

As long as the original versions of the OT are remastered, digitized and released onto DVD or whatever modern format is available at the time, I do not care what changes Lucas makes to the OT. I will still debate those changes simply because many of them don't make any sense (Greedo and Jabba scenes, for example).

That said, I have long thought that Lucas should go back to the original principal photography footage of the OT and re-do all the special effects from scratch. Spruce up the footage with the actors, but completely re-work and re-do any special effects shots.

Like completely re-do the Battle Of Yavin with new effects and make it work around the existing actor footage. Then, have John Williams re-record and update the score to ANH. That's the only one that needs it IMHO.

Would I be interested in seeing this? HELL YEAH!!! It could prove exciting. But as long as there is no OOT available, I won't support any changes, nor would I give any money for such an endeavor.
