So S-Matt what you want is what the special edition was originally supposed to be not a true restoration, but making the film look better by recompositing the effects and cleaning up the image and making it sound better.
But no story material changed or any cartoon cgi added, just things like matte lines and garbage mattes removed.
I think that would have been a nice 20th anniversary release, i mean as long as the real original was also restored faithfully in a true restoration warts and all.
I could live with the 20th anniversary version without messed up colors, without cartoon cgi and with annoying blemished like garbage mattes removed as long as the real version was not erased from existence.
Not sure the millions of folks who along like myself went to see the 1997 versions knew they were helping in the final destruction and suppression of the originals and helping doing so, or there would have been at least a few protests.
