Brrrr... nooo!!! Mos Eisley was a dingy, dusty, and above all realistic hell hole of a dead desert truck stop with musty corridors and danger, and the SE turned it into Disneyland.



I totally agree, the OOT version of SW'77 was not suppose to be lavish or cheesy it was suppose to be gritty, and the SE takes you right out of the movie. All of the additions to the SE give the movie that PT feel, meaning there always has to be something going on in every part of the screen.

Most gritty films really stand the test of time, as they hold true to the story they are telling and there is no wink-wink jokes in them either. Lucas came from an era of gritty films in the 1970's of Scorcese, DePalma, Coppola, Kubrick, and I really don't know where he lost that edge.
