The redone titles I can live with, since they look about the same. The way I look at it is that its the same as when Lucas re-wrote the title crawl for Star Wars (or is it, A New Hope?). No one complained about A New Hope being the only version of Star Wars that was ever on home video.

The photoshopped establishing shot I don't like though. It's sneaky, and tampering with the original photography. Very minor, luckily, but there was no need to do it. The titles were re-done to have better clarity because the opticals were so grainy. The photoshopping was done because Lucas wanted a shot he never got, which is changing the film.
