Forgive me if this topic has been spoken about before, but, what would your attitude be towards the SE if they were solely about special effects enhancements, better sound and music quality and so-on? What if the SE editions had to alterations towards the plot, characters, diologue, unneeded "special" scenes (i.e. "Jedi Rocks", Jabba in ANH, "Wessa free!"), etc., would you accept them more openly? I, personally, would not have much a problem with them if they did (although I wouldn't like them as much as I do the OOT). Paramont (although it was after LucasFlim released the SE) released the episodes of the original Star Trek on DVD with only special effects alterations. It has since been accepted well within the Sterk Trek community. I can't help but think if LucasFilm had done the same then the mess we have today would possibly be nonexistent.
