i have no problems with the special editions as long as they are seen as an alternate version or cut of the movie, i do hate them because they have been used to bury the oot. whenever a theater or fan event want's to show the movies they can't show the originals , lucas has them blocked from doing so. I even heard he's as much as tracked down existing copies of the old cuts and had them destoryed or pulled out of circulation.

Film Libraries and renters can only loan out the '97 or '04 versions or they get Lucas attorney's after them.

as for the ronto the animation looks fairly rushed and does not stand up to similar stuff in the original JP. it's like something that did not make the cut of JP.

I remember articles years ago about indiana jones trilogy special editions lucas wanted to do. supposedly steven adamently said no, but he did redo e.t.
