That would be a nice Special Edition, but its not the OOT. I'd buy it, because it's very close, but I'd still be on Lucas' ass for the original, and I'd still be running savestarwars.com. Those matte lines and "defects" are important, thats the film. For me, the matte lines are as important as the rest of the effect--actually, the matte lines were the effect, the effect is the composite not the model on a blue screen; as soon as you take that away you have destroyed all historical integrity that special effect had. Same with wires, if you want to appreciate the film in its context and with its history, well they did things with wires and sometimes the wires showed a bit and they couldn't paint them out because they didn't have computers. Same with crew reflections, or a bad dub. Same with anything. Star Wars should just be Star Wars, a film that opened in May 1977, if you aren't seeing that, you aren't seeing Star Wars, you're seeing something else.

So yeah--Tasteful Special Edition. Cool! But it's not the film we are looking for.

Exactly, well put Zombie.

If you want recomposites, just watch the Special Editions or some fan-edits instead. If you don't want to see mattelines, well, then perhaps you don't actually like the special effects in Star Wars. Those are there for a reason, just like a bad delivery of a line of dialogue can exist or a good one for that matter. They are part of the film.
