Star Wars doesn't need to be fixed.

As much as I love and cherish the original, to say that there is not stuff in Star Wars that could be polished and fixed is a monumental missight of the truth. I am not basing my thoughts on your oppinion or mine I am just looking at this from a quality stand point. The story is perfectly fine and does not need to be adjusted to fit the PT, however the visuals are a mess in both the OOT and in the SE. The OOT of Star Wars needs a lot of fixing just not the way George wants it to be fixed. The matte boxes need to be taken care of, the grain needs to be cleaned off of the film, the soundtrack needs to be cleaned up to reduce hiss and pops and crackels wherever they might be, the lightsabers could do with re-rotoscoping in some spots for consistency ( especially on the Falcon ), model shots need to be cleaned up in some cases ( not all of them, because some are pure genius), matte painting backgrounds need to be blended better with the forground visuals in some spots, the orange blob under the landspeeder as it enters Mos Eisley needs to be removed, continuity errors that have been caused by flipping shots in post-production need to be fixed, and the list could go on and on. Now does this mean I think the originals need to be replaced, no. They should exist also, for those who love them, but the films can and need to be cleaned up. Adywan has set out to do this, while preserving the original. He has taken Jabba out of Star Wars, Han shoots first again, nad any slap shtick humor that was added to the SE has been removed. All he has done is cleaned up the visuals, fixed the color issues caused by the restoration process, and updated effects in the SE that looked like crapt. I fully respect your descision to not watch Adywan's edit, but here is a full list of his changes if you did not see it:

1. Recoloured the Tantive troopers shirts to match from shot to shot. Now a grey/ blue instead of the over saturated blue in a lot of shots.
2. Changed 3P0's line from " there will be no escape for the princess this time" to " there will be no escape this time". Fixes an error when Luke sees the hologram but 3PO has no idea who she is but hasn't had his memory wiped.
3. Re-Edited the Tantive troops battle to fix continuity issues with troopers dying more than once.
4. Re-rotoscoped all lasers to closer match the PT
5. Added blast flashes to all troopers throughout the movie that get hit but originally had no blast flashes.
6. Fixed the jump cut where 3PO & R2 cross the corridor on the Tantive IV & the doorway explodes.
7. When Vader enters the Tantive IV a stormtrooper lets go of the head of a dead trooper but that you can see that the actor slowly lowers his head. This has been fixed and the troopers head now drops at speed more like a dead body.
8. Added blinking lights to Vader's chest plate
9. Vader's eyes recoloured to remove the red tint.
10.When 3PO is looking for R2 a trooper falls to the floor behind him as if he has been shot but there is no laser fire. Added some lasers & a flash as the trooper is hit.
11. Smoothed / fixed the jump cut as R2 extends his third leg and heads for 3PO & the one where he leaves 3PO
12. In the scene where Vader is strangling Antilles the trooper in the background changes position in one shot. His legas are closed and his blaster is in a totally different position. Fixed this error.
13. Recoloured the interior of the escape pod to blue due to continuity issues in this scene.
14. On Tatooine the escape pod canopy has been recoloured to remove the odd blue colour.
15. In the same scenes the sky has been changed to match other shots
16. Added a new sandcrawler to the shots where 3PO thinks he is rescued
17.Completely new canyon wipe so the rocky surroundings that R2 travels through matches closer to what Tatooine looks like in the PT.
18. Fixed a placement continuity error with the restraining bolt that the Jawas fix to R2
19. Added a battle droid to the scrap inside the Sandcrawler.
20. Fixed R2's eye dome in the shot inside the sandcrawler where it looks like you can see Kenny Baker inside.
21. Inside the sandcrawler 3PO's eyes blink as he stands. Fixed
22. When Beru calls to Luke as they are about to inspect the droids, bushes appear & disappear from shot to shot. Removed the bushes from the shots of Luke to fix this error.
23. Removed the wire from the back of 3PO's neck when Owen calls Luke over.
24. Removed the repeated shot of R2 & the red R5 unit to fix a continuity error. Replaced with a new shot.
25. Fixed the pink sky effect just before this scene fades out.
26. Added the missing glow from R2's holo light in the garage.
27. Re synced Leia's " help me Obi-Wan" lines so this now matches each shot.
28. Brightened & desaturated the sunset scene.
29. Fixed the colour problem in the shot where 3PO jumps as Luke activates the restraining bolt in the garage. In the 2004 DVDs this shot was sepia. An example of some very bad colour problems with these DVDs .
30. As Luke races out of the Garage to use his macro binoculars i have added 3PO running out of the doorway to fix an error that he suddenly appears out of nowhere.
31. New macrobinocular graphics that add in 3PO. All other macro binocular graphics changed too
32. Removed the droids tracks from a previous take make it look like it is being pulled along by a cord.
33. When Owen shouts Luke the treadwell droid is in a totally different place than the previous shot and a fly lands on the camera lens. Fixed both issues.
34. Re-edited the music where we first see the Tusken Raiders to fix a horrible music edit.
35. Added Obi-wans' original scream to frighten the Tusken Raiders instead of that horrible whistle.

43. Removed the probe droid from this scene also.

71. The Death Star's interiors are now metallic grey instead of the horrible blue.

74. In the final shots of this sequence a trooper falls down the stairs but only the scenery was hit. The trooper now gets hit.

I am sorry about the length of my post, but I wanted Anchorhead to see this list. Even if it still does not change his mind about the project.
