What about fx shots? Like in the battle of Hoth, which was comletely recomposited for the SE and looks better but a lot less old school and I love that old school effects look, is this preserved here?

And also, is there any chance we'd be getting this in HD? I know the quality changes would be more apparent but I'd still prefer to watch it in HD that would switch to SD quality sometimes then to watch SD the whole time. That's one of the reasons I don't watch ANH:R, because it's not HD.

Don't believe everything you have heard about them completely re-compositing the Hoth battle. That is rubbish. I proved this when i was starting the Hoth battle for ESB:R. Even in the SE documentaries when they mention they recomposited the cockpits to remove the transparency was just lies. All they did was lower the black level as the cockpits are all still transparent. There are one or two  very minor differences in the battle and that's it

I did mention in the first post that this would not be a 100% authentic recreation as this is not what i was aiming for.

And you won't watch ANH:R just because it's in SD? So you only watch stuff that's in HD then? Limiting yourself a bit there.
