The only important things that were live action in the Special Edition were the Wampa, which removed the scene's tension, and the new cantina aliens, which were pointless and didn't add anything to the scene. The Dewbacks which didn't move properly in the background and the one next to the cantina could be erased digitally and replaced with really cool animatronic puppets which look and act real. The Tauntauns and the original Sarlacc Pit mouth moving not that stupid beak thing could look better with the same methods. The same applies to the new spaceship shots. Why not build models that are identical to the old ones and copy their movements. This would be good for the trench run, escaping from Tatooine, the Slave 1 chasing the Millenium Falcon, entering Cloud City, and the fight above Endor. I don't mind the Yavin 4 or the Cloud City background updates because they look really good and match with the rest of the movie. That is the kind of thing I would like to see if George Lucas ever starts to care about his integrity again.
