I agree. I do not yet own a HD television so the GOUT actually looks good enough for me right now (except for all that nasty grain in SW and ESB) but I'm thinking of what will be in my house five years from now. I feel the Original Unmolested Trilogy should be scanned in high definition, restored to a perfect, grainless, scratchless, slice-tapeless, blemish-free print without changing color temperature, FX, adding or subtracting anything of conceptual value, and presented anamorphically for widescreen. ALL of the original mixes should be presented as audio options in the highest quality the format will allow. For SW, the crawl should be selectable between '77 and '81. And deleted material should be restored in HD and presented as a supplement, including the original Jabba scene with the fat guy stand in.

Star Wars HD presentations should be a pioneer in the field, not a Johnny-come-lately.

Finally, somebody independent of THX should certify the release. The THX-certification on the 2004-2006 releases was nothing less than corporate nepotism.
