I voted no. Here's the way I look at it. In an ideal world, Lucas would've never made the SE and he would've made the PT, ya know, good. He wouldn't have every single shot using a visual effect of some sort, that's a better way of saying it. However, the prequels are what they are. Keeping the SE as his definitive version while also remastering the OOT for us would not have been ideal, but it would have been at least acceptable. You've got to remember that next to no one involved with the actual making of the movies made any noise when the SE's were released, not even Irvin Kershner. The thing that really irks me is how Lucas felt free to alter Jedi when its director had been dead for ten years and everyone justified it by saying "oh, well Lucas pretty much directed Jedi anyway, it's more his movie than Marquand's."

Sorry to sound whiny people, but I'd prefer to have my cake and eat it too. Give me the original versions of all six movies remastered and then Lucas can go do whatever he wants to them.
