But, to me, most effects in the OOT hold up, but some don't. I don't like the old lightsabers, I don't like the puppet Yoda, I don't like the model Tantive IV, etc. Most of my complaints are with ANH, not ESB or ROTJ. ANH still needs some serious work. At the beginning, he needs to replace the Tatooine matte paintings with a better looking Tatooine.
I am a very very different type of Star Wars fan than most I have found at this site. To me, SW is NOT all Luke's story, and I have NO nostalgia associated with the OOT. I greatly enjoy all aspects of it, just as much as the PT, but I see it as one saga, of which Luke's story is one half of. I LIKE changes to the OT. Just like Lucas, I see the OOT as a rough draft. I can never see the OOT the way you do because I didn't see it first, nor did I grow up with it. I am from a new generation of Star Wars fans who see everytyhing differently.
