For the record, removing the garbage mattes is the only change that I think should be made to the OT for a proper home release. That's it. This is not a slippery slope. I still say it's a result of the movies being brightened for TV viewing.

You make a good point that a DVD release is not the exact same animal as a theatrical relaease, and by its very nature changes the presentation in some ways.

I personally have no problem with the mattes, and in all honesty if they were removed I probably wouldn't notice much (same with Empy's "slugs" in certain shots of ROTJ, they weren't visisble on the silver screen).

Really, I'd be happy either way
