Er, Han shooting first?

I guess Mos Eisley angered me the most. They turned a musty old spaceport into Disneyland. But besides that, after reviewing all of the changes throughout the movie, the original movie really just needs to be restored. Going back in and changing matte lines, adding CGI, just is wrong. I mean, what if they went in and replaced the original King Kong with a "better" CGI Kong? Would it still be the 1933 classic? No, it would be some sort of wierd concept project - which is exactly what the SE is. And it shows.

I personally don't have a problem with erasing matte lines and garbage mattes. My reasoning is that they were never intended to be seen, and the picture quality improves with digital compositing. I agree with you about CGI animation, though. It shouldn't be in there at all. In general, I'm not a fan of digital animation in live-action films, even new films.
