I love how the HD version is looking, especially the new canyon matte, but just out of curiosity why was it so important for some people to have the battle droid head included in that scene?
For the ones who like the PT, it’s a nice bit of continuity between the trilogys.
For those who don’t like the PT, it’s possibly an in-joke about the PT being trash.
I’m just of the opinion that the shot looks better with something filling that visual void.
