To everyone making suggestions for color sources and etc.: you missed out on the blog, this project is in good hands. I'm no expert, but I think it's safe to say that they know what they're doing.

I won't buy a movie if it has excessive DVNR and edge enhancement. The star wars blu rays aren't guilty of this...

You mean except for The Phantom Menace ;)

What George Lucas is doing however, is more comparable to John Lennon deciding Yoko Ono was also part of the band, and permanently mixing her voice into the song.

Or, to replace your analogy with an actual historical event, it's like when the first two Ozzy Osbourne albums were rereleased with modern rerecorded bass and drum tracks, and the original albums (plus The Ultimate Sin and the song Shot in the Dark) were withdrawn from the market.

I think I read that they fiddled with Bark at the Moon, too, but I rarely listen to that album, so I wouldn't have noticed.

...or maybe it's not like that, since at least most copies of the SEs let you know that they're not the originals before you open them (thus voiding your chances of getting a refund)...
