Star Wars the original is practically perfect as is, even with minor fx mistakes, and messing with it further only hurts the movie. The most anyone should ever have done with it visually is remove matte lines and garbage boxes and so forth. Nothing else, please!

... Yes: the same on blue-ray !
I think this topic is crazy. :)
We all want the original versions of these films available to the highest possible standard to purchase (it's why most of us joined up here in the first place).
But Lucas himself opened the door when he himself started making changes.
As a version of the SE (not Star Wars 1977) ANH:R is the best incarnation I've seen so far but it's not the last word on reworking the SE idea into something that corrects errors, adds a few flourishes and fits the tone of the story better.
It's an ideas thread for people who want to do that, therefore it's only a crazy topic if you don't want to do that, in which case why post on thread?
There are threads already for discussing the pros and cons of the SE.
My view is that if a SE exists already we might as well try and make it better than the two Lucas put out, that does undermine the call for getting the original versions released one jot.
Don't mistake my friends... I was talking about Ady's version for the Blue-Ray !!!
Only Ady made himself several versions to make everyone agree, and happy with it. And we still find this topic making people talk about what more can be done: THAT is what I call crazy.
Note that what is not explained in the OT makes it far above the Prequels (as all that is explained in it kills it all the time). So my thoughts are that all the stuff ADY have set right is done wisely... Very equilibrated. And the question of the thread itself shows a little incomprehension of such an effort. I think.
ADY said (a little above): Sometime less is more. And that's it !
So... Here's the stupid question again:
- Can anything else be done to ANH after Adywan ?
- My answer is:
Hey guys, stop asking, stop talking: DO or DO NOT ! Words are wind.
... AND JUST THANK ADYWAN !!!
(... And sign a petition to ask Lucasfilm for they edit his version... Because now it's ours !).
