I could not wait to see them as I had missed out on the originals in the cinemas here. I really wanted to experience the Star Destroyer flying over the audience in the beginning of New Hope. My dad used to go on about that. I watched the SE version of episode IV with him which was a nice experience.
I was helluva disappointed by the freakish Jabba in IV and Greedo shooting first...I was perplexed by some of the changes, like the Sarlacc tongue. Funny, if I think what I hated the most about the SE, it would be the Sarlacc tongue. Made the Sarlacc less of a bloated dirty giant parasite and more into a generic alien. Well to me anyway.
I remember being surprised that they could not edit out Lukes hand injury from being there before he actually gets shot.
