Here is how I feel about it.

Theatrical version preserved good job. I have nothing to add to this I have no desire to interfere with what ever you lot are up to.

I would however like to have a version that is very analogue looking similar to what i grew up with on TV. It’s not to hard to understand I have said this multiple times and i would like to try and recapture that. The 97 TV broadcast version I think is very good at the end of the film, I can not speak for the start really.

Do the laserdisc or VCD of special edition resemble the broadcast version? The thing is and the common complaint is that the special edition special effects shots do not match the film at all.

But if you watch the 97 broadcast version they actually do match up pretty well in my opinion. This is because the shots were not designed to go with the new Master in 2004 but another master and the broadcast version seems to me a good match. But yeah I hate the mos eisley parts and stuff horrible no matter what.
