I agree with Peter Jackson, however in the defense of (ugh) George Lucas, Peter Jackson's movies are less than 10 years old, whereas Star Wars was 20 years old when it was "Lucased," and the original production was pre-digital.

I don't hate the concept of the SE trilogy-- in fact, for me some of the enhancements make the movies more enjoyable for me. However, I think that it was better in concept than in execution, and many of Lucas's changes (not to be confused with "enhancements") are downright aggravating to watch (case in point: Greedo). Also, the fact that Lucas is not yet making the original versios available in acceptable picture quality, for me is what makes the SE's cross the line from perfectionism to revisionism.
