TheBoost is absolutely right--while the visual and audio changes to the movies can be very annoying at times, the most disturbing aspect is the revisionism of their history and reframing the context of the story into something that was never part of how it was created in the first place. When watching the classic versions, it is best to firmly divorce all notions of anything related to the prequel films and let the story speak for itself. This way, it maintains creative integrity and a greater degree of self-consistency. Keep in mind particularly how it is a story about the adventures of Luke Skywalker, not some overblown 'tragedy of a whiny twit posing as Vader'. This point is very important to the cultural context of the films.

If you have a decent ear, you'll also notice that the quality of sound mixing in the first movie was originally much better. ;)

@ Mielr: I'm convinced that Youtube comment sections are the rubbish dumps of the internet, where the uninformed and imbecilic gravitate to compete for the title of dumbest person alive.

Obviously, you missed the fact that TheBoost was criticizing the retconning and reframing WITHIN THE ORIGINAL TRILOGY.
