I guess I understand your point better, Marvolo, assuming you look at special edits of Star Wars only as alternative versions and not a supposedly "improved" replacement of the original. I still believe the original film is the best version to watch in a historical sense and in an authentic sense. Other than that, I think tasteful, alternative versions are a fun experience. Too bad George's edits were designed to replace the originals.

That is what I was trying to say with those very long posts of mine and you got it exactly right, Tiptup. None of these special edits could replace what the 1977 version of Star Wars is to me. It is the best version of that movie. It is a classic. However, I watch alternate versions like adywan's to experience it a different way than the origianl just to see someone else's take on it, not to replace it.
