I think the Star Wars Special Editions are totally cool provided

  • The best copy of the original is available, preserved as close to it's original version as possible allowing for changes in media. This is obviously grounds for some discussion on details (matte lines for ex) but the general rule of "no intentional artistic or aesthetic change" should be followed.
  • The SE is clearly labeled "A New Hope: 2011 Altered Edition" so as not to confuse the consumer. Otherwise, the film is Lucas's property and anything he wants to do is fine with me.
