I'm glad this thread was made. On this site changing the OT to fit the PT is avoided like the plague. I understand the sentiment, but I don't agree. My preferred versions are the theatricals and the revisited (well they will be when released). But the problem with these is that they don't work 1-6. I've always believed that the correct order is 4-6, 1-3 (although now I'm for 4-5-1-2-3-6) and I've stuck by this belief because its the only way the movies work as is.

I would love to see versions of the OT that were specifically made to satisfy those watching 1-6. Sure the movies probably wouldn't be as good, but that's not really the point. People argue that putting PT elements in ANH would take away the ability for it to stand alone. Well, don't we already have TWO near perfect versions of ANH that stand alone? Why not one that would follow the PT more closely?
