Not if you talk to the younger fans who grew up with the SE's and have never seen the OT. Some of them only know of the originals as being basically "rough cuts" with "missing scenes". And yes I have actually seen that exact quote recently on a message board.

That's a tricky issue. If not for technical difficulties and/or lack of time/money, wouldn't a character called Jabba have been in "Star Wars"? Wouldn't there have been more Wampa action in ESB? And wouldn't there have been a sandstorm scene in ROTJ? or B-Wings?

So, the "artist" was limited by problems. I can see the rough cut perspective.
