I generally have mixed feelings about the originals verses the special editions issue. There are some changes I liked and others that I don't and some even that I don't care either way. The Jabba's palace dance number scenes for example, pretty much sucks in both versions and while I think the overly elaborate Mos Eisley intro was talking it a bit too far, the original always felt a little too short as well. I don't want either version to go away. Both versions have their strong points as far as I'm concerned.

Comments like these piss me off no matter what the source. I'd be upset about getting a comment like that but I've had people redicule me just for saying possitive things about the prequels and special editions. I think everybody needs to be aware of the things they say in this respect.
