Well, if they’re so similar I can’t tell the difference, then they might stay provided the quality actually is better.
To be honest, if all the SE had been was a digital recompositing of the original FX shots (which I’ve heard was the original intent before George got carried away), I don’t think we’d be having this conversation.
If Disney put such a product out and claimed it was the theatrical edition, I would have no qualms about it.
