True, there are a lot of "invisible" changes like recompositing. But think about the screen-time these take up. Count up all the re-comped Rancor, sail barge and speeder shots in Jedi. You probably end up with about 25 seconds for the rancor, 20 seconds for the sail barge, and about 4 minutes for the speeder. That 5 minutes out of a movie that is something like 130 minutes. Do you really think getting those five minute pieces, plus another two or three minutes from the CG stuff, would break the bank? And again, you would only need to do clean-up if it was necessary, some of it could just be inserted as-is.

I'm not even sure Lucas is enough of a purist to want to take the time to find the original comps and put them back in.
