These changes were already made before 1993, I believe. Unless the film is restored to 1977 conditions in every aspect, it is not the original theatrical release. And one false advertising claim leads me to question other advertising claims.

Well, from the slideshow we've seen on the official site, everything seems to look just like it did in 77. I personally don't know of any effects shots that were changed before 1993 (that doesn't mean there weren't any) and the only sound changes I know of are what I've learned on these boards (don't know if they were changed before '93 or not). I've personally only witnessed the horid effects and sounds of the 97 SEs.
