Well, obviously the originals are better. I disagree that the SE was a great idea though. The OOT is a product of the time in which it was made. No amount of computer upgrades can change the fact that ANH came out in 1977 and was made on a shoe-string budget.

The SE was never a good idea. Go on, remaster it, restore and remix the soundtrack but don't change the content of the films. The people who worked on the films, including Lucas himself, deserve more respect than that, in my opinion.

But if it has to be done, the originals should be not only preserved but also considered the official and definitive cuts, with the SE's regarded as... well, whatever one wants to think.

If that was the case then the prequels would have had to be conformed from the get go to the oot, and not the other way around.

As it is there are still so many things that still need to be fixed to make the old trilogy agree with the prequels.

I mean the discontinuities and age difference in the characters between the trilogies is so bad, why not just reshoot the whole original trilogy.

No matter how bad Lucas (or anyone) wants it, the existing films will never perfectly match up with each other. His ideas for the prequels evolved over the years. I'm okay with that. What I can't figure out is why he isn't okay with that.
