How "original" do you think it is going to be...? (the 2006 GOUT DVD release)

I voted cleaned up but uncut because that's what Spielberg did with the original version of E. T. The terrorist line was reinstated (it was actually censored for the first video release) and the guns were there. But the picture looked the cleanest, colors were vibrant, not murky and washed out. The matte lines around the flying bikes as well as the mismatched contrast was fixed however.

It should be noted that unaltered scenes in the official dvd's had similar fixes (Luke falling down Cloud City shaft, cockpit view into space, rancor, speeder bikes in Jedi). I'm fine with that because those things weren't really supposed to be there, they ocurred during compositing, and fixing that is like doing a better transfer. It also gives the old pre cgi effects more credibility because then they don't look so obvious to spot.
