The 97 SEs were completely redone effects and color wise and as much was done as possible for the time. I also think that some things were left untouched because there are beloved mistakes (stormtrooper with a sore head) What needs to be done is a Blade Runner type 5 disc set where versions are on seperate discs when there are numerous differences and seamlessly branched when the versions are nearly identical (ex. Theatrical cut and international theatrical cut of BR). I honestly think all we're going to get is an eventual HD version of the screwed up 04 dvds. If only someone else could take control of the new release. SW has never been right on any DVD, VHS, Laserdisc, or any other release you can think of. There is always some tinkering or problem. Why can't we have a definitive release with every version properly restored with every soundtrack and extra like we've been waiting for since 1977? (i hate the bloody "definitive collection" with all of its artifacts on the ships!) I'd better go clean my VCR heads.
