Saving Private Ryan with rubber chickens: hell yes I'd buy that. I'd probably enjoy it more than the original.

It's funny reading through the thread I came to the same conclusion as Bongloads. I just want to outlive George Lucass so his estate can release the OT as a historical preservation edition or something.

Everytime I watch some interview with GL when he explains what he really wanted in the OT and how his changes improve things, I'm almost convinced that they're warranted.

And then I see how out of place some of it look in actual context, how CGI still looks CGI and just as fake as a muppet (maybe more fake), and I think about all the artists and SFX people that worked on the original whose work is lost and I start yelling at the TV.

I have tried many times to try to embrace the New Vision of Star Wars OT (even sat through the SE in theaters) and I just can't enjoy them.
