If George had only changed Special effects for the SE and DVD, would people have complained as much?

I don't hear many people complain about the many small FX changes that were actually made for the SE and the DVD (which could be seen as a new edition altogether). For instance, the moving Dewbacks and the corrected animation of the death star doors.


Actually, people have complained about the Dewbacks, particularly their introduction. They claim it ruins the pacing and is totally expendable. In my opinion, it's messed up because they draw too much attention to themselves. It was one of his many, "Look at the awesome special effects!" special effect shots where the camera stays on this Dewback clomping around the desert. It's very similar to Boba Fett mugging the camera at the end of the Jabba scene. "Look! It's Fett! You all know you love Fett! And he loves you too! He's looking right at you! Haven't I done great?"
