I had long since stopped closely following Star Wars post-77 because of the shrunken universe, children story that it started to become in Empire, and which was fully realized in Return.  I had also seen screen grabs from the SEs.  I'm against revisionism to start with, so I was put off by them.  Add in the fact that the added scenes looked terribly out of place, and I didn't have a great deal of hope that Phantom would be a film for me.  It wasn't.
