Of all the alterations that were made to the original movies I find the ones that try to shoehorn anything remotely Prequel related into the original films to be particularly offensive, and certainly the most jarring. As if all the other digital 'enhancements' weren't bad enough, these are the changes that really do pull me out of the OT experience and back into Special Edition and PT reality! The stuff nightmares are made of!

The hologramatic emperor in ESB with really bad PT make-up job, Temuera Morrison as the voice of Boba Fett, and the jewel in the crown of digital contamination Hayden as Anakin force ghost serve as just a few examples. (When images of the ROTJ Anakin/Hayden scene first appeared I believed them to be merely a bit of fan derived Photoshop fun. How wrong could I have been! :/)

It is strange though how I am somehow able to tolerate some of the more scenic additions such as the Falcon escaping from Mos Eisley, x-wings preparing for battle, exterior Bespin scenes etc, though these have to be watched in isolation from the rest of the movie. I guess these scenes really just expand on how I had imagined them to be be anyway, and don't really alter my perceptions of the Star Wars universe or characters.
