I am with ya guys on the greatness of ESB, but as I said, ESB & ROTJ are essentially one movie to me, and SW'77 can viewed as its on entity that has zero to do with anything after 1977.

I have never been one to complain about the updated effects of the OT, that stuff I can live with, but I just can't take the scene changes, as they are much too jarring. After the OOT DVD debacle last September, it has become real hard for me to enjoy the OT even by itself anymore. You can watch grainy, crappy OOT DVD's without all the changes, or pristine SE DVD's with all the changes, including that creepy Hayden lurking in ROTJ that ruins the whole movie.

I am just saying I really can't enjoy ROTJ SE at all, and the way I have always watched the OT movies, is that it is the final chapter of a great trilogy, and even though ROTJ is far inferior then the previous installments, ESB can't standalone like SW'77, or even just be a 1-2 punch that a Terminator 1 & 2 can do while forgetting the horrendous Part 3.

Until or if Lucas ever remasters the OOT so I can enjoy the movies again, the OT will never be the same for me, and I am being 100% honest, as I will still pop ESB, and ROTJ every once in a while, but they are tainted, and the moment Jedi Rocks comes on the screen, or that ridiculous ending in ROTJ with Jar Jar Binks in it, I won't be able to sit back and enjoy the movies the way I did for 20 years. Sorry to be a downer here, but just given you my opinion.
