the only thing lost here is the master that the special edition effects made by ILM were to go with.

Now we have special edition effects paired with a new master that they were not designed to go with.

I don’t think the way it is now match at all rather than how it was designed to be originally in the Special Edition.

I did notice laserschwertz trailer for the normal film footage though looks nothing like the 97 broadcast version. The special effects shots however are accurate.

97 broadcast version looks like Gout Master and updated special effects.
