Well, I don't really care about these minor things - especially when they don't impact the performance when "just watching the film". Of course it's all part of the Lucasfilm money grabbing machine not to put any "unnecessary" effort into the release of the OUT (or GOUT if you please). It's a philosophy George Lucas adopted somewhere down the road of making his films.

When I went into the store and bought these babies, I knew these would be like a "Laserdisc copied to a DVD" - I knew what I would get.

The 2004 editions on the other hand - represent an inferior product that was rushed out the door (heck even the original film material that was still in the process of being cleaned up was taken away from lowry before he could even finish the job). If you want to be mad at something about this release, then please be mad about the fact that you're forced to buy a product along the way that was created with todays technology and still looks like a heap of crap by todays quality standards (color balancing, mouse pointers moving through the picture, incomplete foley track in ANH, messed up musical score, lollipop uni-colored lightsabers, etc.).

Sadly, it really seems some people have lost the ability to just sit down and "just watch the film". Just try to be glad that none of the people who commited the crime of "improving the presentation quality" of the 2004 editions, tried to do the same with the OUT. I for one am glad they didn't meddle with it at all.
