Yes, these are definitely not revisions in the same vein as LOTR. The same goes for EEs or Director's Cuts of movies like The Abyss and The Exorcist. These movies respliced footage that existed since it was filmed but was cut out for the sake of time. SW is doing some reinsertion which I have no problem with like Biggs' scenes. However when he creates whole new scenes, that's when I have a problem. Even the Jabba scene in ANH is bad, in my book, because it is being severely doctored. Yes, the footage is original and cut out which I've said I don't have a problem with. But he changed Jabba (for necessity's sake, obviously) and added in Boba Fett. He should just leave the scene on the cutting room floor. If he can't reinsert the scene using only audio and video remastering to bring it to the a/v quality of the theatrically released film, then it should be left alone. Fuhgeddaboudit.
